Hi everyone, my name is Niky, from NYC (living in the Bronx). I'm 31, SW 286, CW 280. Getting sleeved by Dr. Belsley, he's affiliated with St. Lukes/Roosevelt. Has anyone been sleeved with Dr. Belsley? I started the process with Dr. Yatco at Lennox Hill, but my mom suggested I check out Dr. Belsley as she knows someone who works for him. I went in and LOVED how they treat you, but in the back of my mind I'm wondering if I should still stick with Dr. Yatco. Just wanted some opinions. Thanks :)

No, I have one more weigh-in to attend next month, and a few other pre-requisites.

I had my surgery with Dr.Yatco. His practice is the best in the city. Google it.

I know, I went to his seminar and met with him already. Did you have to wait long after you got approved for his surgery? I heard he was booked months in advanced

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
