Just wondering if there are any sleevers that are in Manhattan? I checked the boards and I haven't seen any one from Manhattan New York City. Just looking for some encouragement or to offer some encouragement.

When did you have your surgery? What Surgeon? Where? Hoping I can connect with some New Yorkers. :D

Wow! Nice to get to know a fellow New Yorker! I had my surgery on 3-30-15. My surgeon was Dr. Belsley and the hospital was Mount Sinai New York-Presbyterian Hospital. I started out at 240 lbs. I have lost 35 pounds already. I don't exercise much due to spine problems but I do walk. I live in the East Village. I have been a NYer all my life. I've lived in Brooklyn, Queens, and of course Manhattan.I am glad to be speaking to a veteran sleever and Wow you have done a great job, It is very encouraging.If you don't mind can I add you to my friends list? I would like to follow your progress.It will keep me on track.

As long as ur moving. I hope that the surgery helps to alleviate your spinal issues. Thank you. I'm always a work in progress. My fat gene is always tryna creep up. But it keeps me focused. I'm not going back! Sure you can add me. No problem!

Hi Twitty! Dr. Pomp. He did my band, a hernia repair later on and my band removal in April. Who was your surgeon? Which floor did they take you to? I know that there are 2 surgical floors and I have been trying to figure out if I will go to the good one or the bad one :) How was your experience and how are things going?

Hi @@Bndtoslv ! I had Dr Dakin. Surgery was in Greenberg 4th Fl. Then my room was on the 14th floor. My experience was great I've been recovering really well, knock on wood.

@@qnz234 how is dr gorecki and NY methodist? My mom is interested in having the surgery done as well and they recommended her to dr gorecki.

Great thanks! 14th Floor is the better floor - did you have your own room? How many days were you there? How were the nurses? Dr. Dakin is Dr. Pomp's partner and very nice.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
