I am from New Jersey too, Old Bridge. It is nice to see so many people near here. I had my sleeve on June 4th. Today I am down 30.2 lbs! Fitting into clothes I haven't worn in four years. Surgery with Dr. Sadek at RWJ. Love the doctor, he did all of my husband's surgeries- band, band removal and sleeve! I have had the worst arthritis flare up since after the surgery, struggling to get pain relief. Been to ER, rheumatologist and soon to orthopaedist. Have a cyst on my left knee causing great pain. I know once I have this behind me my progress will be that much quicker. Some days I feel very discouraged. Going back to work tomorrow, nervous. Going to RWJ support group tonight.

Hey guys. I'm also from central Jersey. My surgery is scheduled for August 18th with Dr. Lisa Medvetz. During all of my pre-op appointments i've been fine but now that the date is scheduled I am finding myself to be really nervous

Lisa was my surgeon. She was great! Best of luck to you.

Who wants to meet in Freehold, perhaps August 16 or 17, mid morning, at a diner? Or can anyone suggest somewhere else?

I've just completed my 4th (of 6th) appt. I'm on the hunt for a WLS friendly PCP who will sign off on the medical clearance. I've done the Upper GI, EKG, lab work, psych eval etc and the results are normal. I have copies of the records. Can anyone recommend a dr who didn't give them a hard time with the clearance? I'm in South Jersey but willing to travel.

Thanks!

Sunday is better. Preferably before 12. Freehold is great.
