My daughter and I decided that we are going to make stuffed animals out of my clothing after surgery and donate them to the nursing home my Gramps is in

Dr. Sadek and his staff. Who is your surgeon? My experience at RWJ was good. I stayed overnight in recovery b/c they didn't have a room for me. The nurses there were very attentive.

I am in South Jersey. Making my way through all of my appointments and am coming up with other issues I was not aware of. The worst one is that my EKG came back abnormal which they said could mean I had a previous heart attack. I am going to the Cardiologist on March 28 for further testing. I am so worried about my health at this point and also the possibility of not being approved for surgery now. Has anyone else gone through this type of issue and how did it turn out?

love Dr. Sadek & team...I have my one month follow up this afternoon and have

had nothing but a positive and professional experience. Went to him Nov 21st and

left w/surgery date of Feb 22nd...lost 15lbs preop and another 15-16 since surgery.

They keep their appts or reschedule w/no problem. EVERYTHING they did was "as it was presented" to me.

NO SURPRISES - Great results...Compassionate doctor who cares and wants to help you!

Good luck

I had a heart attack a few years prior to my sleeve. My surgeon required a sign off from my cardiologist. Once he received that sign off he was ready to move forward with the surgery.

My surgeon was Dr. Sadek also and I only have positive things to say about the whole team.

      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!
