Im planning to have my sleeve done by Dr. Peter Kwon at Tristate Bariatrics. Has anyone else here had him as a surgeon?

I have had Dr. Kwon place my lapband and I am currently working with him again to do revision to sleeve. He is great but strict. Do you have a surgery date yet?

I was sleeved by Dr Kwon on December 30. He is great.

[moni75 22]

I was also sleeved by Dr Kwon on the 30th. How are you feeling?

I am doing ok. I am feeling good.I can't wait to have some sort of food substance. The staples are getting a little painful ready to come out. How are you feeling?

[moni75 22]

Ugh I feel weak & ready to drop. I've been dreaming about food & the Food Network has become my life. No pain though, which is good. Just ready to have more variety

[moni75 22]

I'm down 8lbs which is the only thing making me feel better

[Becca817 0]

That is great. I don't have any pain either just from the staples now. I have yet to weigh myself yet. I am ready for food I want cheese. Lol.

[moni75 22]

OMG I've been craving cheese also. I have some in the house & even joked that I was gonna lick it all so no one can have none. Why should I suffer alone!! LOL

Lol that's funny today when I was grocery shopping I bought a whole bunch of cheese and Joe thought I was crazy he kept telling me Bec you have 2 weeks yet.

[moni75 22]

2 weeks!! Wow. Do you know the stages @ when we can advance?

[Becca817 0]

I know I have to drink shakes for 2 weeks then I can do semi soft, are they different?

[moni75 22]

I can't remember what the nurse in the office told me about how long each stage was. I'm going in on Monday for my post-op appointment & I have a lot of questions

[Becca817 0]

I go Monday too. I just remember going thru it with Joe it was almost two weeks, he did start have a few things during the second week. I know I tried a little chicken broth.< /p>

[moni75 22]

I tried some broth too. I'm a nurse & because I felt so weak & thought I would pass out any minute I decided I needed more than just tea & crystal light. Did a few small sips & felt better. Now that I can have shakes I feel a little better
