New York sleevers

[atontor 1,068]

Hi. Manhattan here. 7 weeks post op.

Hi I'm also from NYC. May I ask which Surgeon you used? Had my lapband done at NYU and would like to get a second opinion.

Hi. I had my surgery at NY Presbyterian on 168th St. My surgeon was Dr Melissa Bagloo, great expertise her staff and her. Unfortunately she left to become director of bariatric surgery at Valley hospital in NJ. But the other surgeons there are great as well since I've heard great stories from other people I've met there.

Hello all,

My surgery was April 15. I live in Nassau county and I am looking for a support group besides the meetings at south Nassau county communities hospital. I'm also interested in finding walking partners who are available after work. (7pm?)

Email me at smilesweet@aol.com

Hi Rosie, I had the lap band and converted to sleeve too in Oct 2013. I'm on long island too. Live on Nassau/Suffolk border and work on Nassau. Would love to meet a fellow band to sleeve buddy. Email me if you want to talk.

VinnyB,

I sent you a message directly. It was too long to post. I really liked the staff at South Nassau. They knew me well after I was there on three separate occasions since April 15. I am now well and about to really begin exercising. I had a few complications but it will be worth it. I am down 40 pounds, which isn't much for 4 months. I feel better now and am no longer in pain when I walk. I am guessing that repair of the hernia was needed before the surgery. Anyway, please read my note to you.

Lisa

I do a lot of walking and follow my Dr's guidelines when it comes to food and Protein. They provided me with a great guideline about foods to eat and not to eat. I was afraid I wouldn't lose any more weight once I started eating regular good but it has continued. A bit slower but it has. The most difficult thing is keeping up with my clothe.
