Long Island Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hi! I'm just starting out and I will be having my surgery at Winthrop hospital. Just wondering if anyone has used this group. My dr is Dr A. Barken. I'm going to my primary dr to get a weigh in tomorrow and see if we can back track a few months.

I'm in southern Nassau county if anyone is looking for a buddy

I'm Lisa too -- and in Long Island. I had my surgery in NYC though. Is your doctor part of the group with Dr Brathwaite? He's a fantastic surgeon. Good luck!!

I'm from Long Island and will be using Dr.Lee from West Islip. I was suppose to get surgery this month but due to a change with my insurance requirements it's been pushed to next month. Anyone else use this doctor?

Hey Lisa!

I'm from South Nassau and, guess what? I had my sleeve surgery on March 8th at Winthrop Hospital with..........wait for it..............Dr. Barkan!!!

The surgery went extremely well. No complications and I'm 3 weeks post-op and feeling great! You should be close to your surgery, if not already.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
