Bronx ny, montifiore hospital rny



Recommended Posts

I guess everything can't be perfect. Montifiore seems like a good hospital. I think they just have way too many patients. I think they need to slow down a bit on that. It's hard with all the obesity issues in ny and montifiore gets a lot of patients that have been referred by others that had they're surgery there. Happy you are on your way to a healthier you. I know the process might not be what you would imagine it to be but who really knows that? Only the ones that have gone through it. Not even the surgeons know. They only can tell you how it may feel and how things may go after surgery. My process has been long cause I stopped at the end of all tests and weight management because of switching jobs and not having insurance. Now I have insurance and trying to continue where I left off. Hoping that I can finish the process this time. let's see what happens. I finished my 2 support groups, and I have an appointment with doctor choi August 26 , last nutri app August 20th let's see what happens.. dde09

Good luck with everything hun!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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