healthfirst. what was your experience ?



Recommended Posts

I have been changing insurance (mainly to avoid the 6 month diet, just being honest) had HIP then my surgeon suggested I switch to healthplus. I changed surgeons because that guy was a prick. I went a Sleeve info session at Maimonides hospital in Brooklyn, Ny. During the session we were told if we have healthfirst we wouldn't have to do the diet..so being the impatient guy I am, I switched over to healthfirst. Now I'm being told I might have to do the diet. I really want to get this done before I start my next semester of college. Grrr XD

I switch to Health First for the same reason too.... My surgeon told me the same thing... You should check him ... Dr Stephen Carryl in Brooklyn ... One Hansen place... My mom used him and she also referred five other ppl...

Sounds like a plan! Thank you so much. Did you or your mom have to do the 6 month diet?

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
