NYC Sleevers In The Queens Area ?



Recommended Posts

Manhattan here. Sleeved 5/29/15

How are you?

I am doing well so far so good. I am now 4months post op and 83 pounds down. I am still in the trial and error process of figuring out which foods I can sit with me and those that don't. I have a lot of weird cravings now and a lot of my favorite foods I don't have a taste for but its like a learning process. I'm just taking it one day at a time.

How are you ?

I'm from Cambria Heights.... Jamaica, Queens pre-op

Did you have your procedure done yet?
I'm doing well. Had my 6 month post op everything was good. Blood work etc.

Just moved to Queens in August...living in LIC.

Currently in the pre-op phase but scheduled for 1-11-16 at New York Methodist Hospital in Brooklyn.

Where were you sleeved?

I was sleeved at New York Presbyterian in Queens. I am now 4 months post op and I am down 83 pounds. I wish you the best of luck with your procedure and your journey. Happy New Year!

Who was your surgeon? I'm having it done there in a week. Dr. Ricci Gorbea is my surgeon

I'm in Queens, New York. Getting sleeved at NY Presbyterian Queens next Tuesday. 6/26

Hi,

My wife and I are from Flushing. My wife and I are having our procedures done at Cornell-Weill in Manhattan by Dr. Arfaneh.

My wife is having hers done this Friday (very nervous for her) I'm having mine on Feb. 10th. I'm 6' and 252 lbs with a number of health issues

(high blood pressure, back pain, high cholesterol and sleep apnea oh and I'm on the border of diabetes) I'm looking forward to meeting others on this forum that can relate to us. Take care

Jerry

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
