I also had Dr. Weiss from tri-state bariatrics and am two weeks post-op. I am, so far, very pleased. 288 at start, 277 at surgery and 261 now.

Anyone from the Hudson Valley Area in NY? If so' date=' who did your surgery?[/quote']

Idk if you had your surgery yet or not but I had Dr. Judd from crystal run & he & his staff were fantastic through out the entire process. I coukd not have picked a better doctor to do my surgery. I have had no complications either :)

I have been seen in Crystal Run Healthcare. Dr Judd. I can't seem to locate anyone who had surgery by him.

Also did you go to any of the support group meetings @ orange regional??? You would have met lots of people who had surgery by him there. They have the meetings on the first tuesday of every month in the conference room on the bottom floor @ 7:30 pm. Vicki handles the financial part with your ins company & she is fantastic as well. Laura I believe is the name of the nutritionist who runs the support groups & also is the one you would have your one on one meeting with. She is very friendly :) best of luck to you & your journey with whatever doctor you choose to use :)

I just had my surgery this morning at 7:30am by Dr Weiss from Tristate Bariatrics. Everything has been great. Only thing was I needed a catheter to drain my bladder and removed it right away. I am only feeling a little soreness in my chest but have not had any issue sipping my Water etc. I am truly surprised at how well I feel. At this very moment I am in the intensive care waiting lounge texting since I have walked around all over the place. Going to my room now. Good night and good luck.

Congrats Neoflasher! I was amazed too at how good I felt initially but was slightly deflated by how tired I bacame within a few days. Everybody is different, but get plenty of rest too.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
