WorkinClassDog 20 Posted October 5, 2013 I promised myself that I would work up the confidence to post a before and after pic comparison at some point - so here goes :-) I started at a peak weight of 265 before the surgery -- as of now, down to 192 -- 73 lbs so far... Had my sleeve done in May at Overlook Med Center in Summit -- My surgeon was Glenn Forrester from NJ Bariatric in Springfield and they have been really great. The May pics were taken the first day post-surgery - hope this helps out some new or potential sleevers get inspired... I havent regretted my decision once...it has made a tremendous positive impact in my life. 12 DeezJeanz, SJMusicalman103, READY4CHANGE2013 and 9 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WorkinClassDog 20 Posted October 5, 2013 I am getting sleeved on 10/16 with Dr. Forrester at Overlook hospital and very happy to see someone who had surgery with him! Congrats to you, now I feel better. Still a little nervous, but very excited! Congrats on your pending surgery!!! Dr. Forrester is incredibly caring, and a really top notch doc. I'm actually finishing up a nursing degree and I tend to be very picky about MD's -- he completely impressed me, and so did his office. Overlook's bariatric unit is great too -- you will be in good hands with the nurses there... they really made me as comfortable as possible, and kept checking on me post-surgery. Keep us all posted on your surgery!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
