I am from Clifton Park. Three Weeks Post Op. Had my follow up Tuesday. No problems. Blood pressure way down. 20 pounds lost since surgery. Am on soft foods starting today until 6/1. After that I can try anything. I do feel hunger. Have read that goes away after a while' date=' hope so.[/quote']

Where did you get your surgery done? That's awesome about blood pressure being down and losing 20 pounds! I heard people talk about head hunger but say it does eventually go away! I'm waiting to hear when my first appointment with my surgeon will be. I have everything else all done, so now just waiting!! It's driving me crazy!

Will do.. Please let me know if you have any questions .. Good luck!

Thanks!! I'm sure I will have a million questions once I get a little further along!

I had mine done at Faxton-St. Lukes near Utica. I shopped around and liked Dr. Graber's practice out there best, they have a very good reputation. Dmitir Baranov did my surgery. He has since moved to somewhere near the capital district but don't know the exact place yet.

It's funny.. I see billboards for WlS on 787 all the time!! I even called them before! I choose Ellis because I know several people who went through them and had the best things to say about them! Also it's very convent location for me as well .

Do you have to remind yourself to eat? What do you eat on a typical day?

I'm still waiting o find out. I just had my psych evaluation yesterday, that was the last thing I needed to do. Now I'm waiting to find out when I meet with the surgeon. I need to loose 5% of my body weight before they will schedule the surgery. 7 more pounds to go! Then indeed to get to just about 10% gone to have the surgery. So, I'm hoping July will be it!! Jealous your is coming up do soon! I'm dreading a liquid diet! I can hardly get though a day on leans and greens...

I had my psych evaluation today, it was a joke though..i was there for like 15 mins, and he was like ok i'm clearing you for surgery. I'm self-pay so my process has moved along very fast. I started all of this on April 3rd. The liquid diet has not been easy but i just keep telling myself if i can get through this i can get through the surgery and be a success. It consists of 5 shakes a day (optifast), sugar free Jello, and lots and lots of Water. You will do great don't worry, it does get easier.

Thanks!! I'm getting a little annoyed with my case coordinator. I've left her 2 messages to make sure she received my information that I have faxed over. She has not bothered to call me back!

I was born and raised in Colonie. Had my sleeve done on Jan 15th in Mexicali with Dr Aceves. Down 53 lbs. from surgery, 68 from highest wt. Almost to goal! Loving my sleeve Itsy. My sister still lives in Albany, had hers Jan 14 at Ellis. She is down 88 lbs and loves her little Bitsy.

Still have to make good choices and I had hoped to not think about eating all day. Maybe someday. For now I still have to journal to be sure to get everything in each day

Good luck with your journeys!

Wow! 68 in 5 and a half months is awesome! I meet with my surgeon on June 13. Hopefully I will get my surgery date then! Who was your sisters surgeon? I decided to go to Dr. Ingram at Ellis. She's uses the robot to assist in her surgery! She did the orientation and I was really impressed with her!

My sister had Dr Ingram and was very happy. She had the sleeve and a hernia repair.

I'm so glad to hear that! I haven't heard many things about her and the sleeve! Regardless, you and your sister sound like you have a great experience so far with the surgery! How was

post -op and recovery for you? Any advice/ suggestions?
