Hi All. I'm glad to stumble across this page! Was really looking to do the Lap Band but after talking to so many people I might do the sleeve. Any one in the North New Jersey area that love their doctor/surgeon? I have TWO seminars to go to at different places, different set of doctors. xoxo Mimi

I have my first appointment with Dr. Trivedi from Advanced Laparoscopic Associates in Paramus coming soon. I attended the HUMC seminar and was very impressed. My GP recommended Dr. Trivedi, but everywhere I ask, I hear the same thing. He is the goto guy in the area.

Per the Lapband, everything I read kinda pointed to VSG as the best for success. Everyone's journey is different. Good Luck!

definitely don't do the lapband. Lots of people have problems with it. In fact, a lot of surgeons refuse to do them anymore. Go with the sleeve or the bypass. They both have proven track records.

Hey! He is one of the doctors from the group that I was recommended to. I was actually referred to Dr Schmidt. 2 ppl I know had Dr Eid and one choose Dr Trivedi. I am going to a seminar in December!

Dr. Schmidt, Trivedi and Ewing ran the HUMC seminar. Very informative.

I met with Trivedi today. Very nice man, lots of patience with all my questions. I also did my nutritional evaluation with their in house Nutritionist. All went smooth. Now, six months for pre-op diet and I should be all set.

DO NOT do lap band. Reputable surgeons and the major centers no longer do them at all. You will have multiple issues and eventually have to have it removed. My surgeon only does removals now. Several a week. I chose VSG but RNY is still the gold standard. Good luck. Do your research and you'll do great.

Did He keep you two days? I heard he likes to keep Sleeve patients an extra day just to be safe.

Yeah, standard 2 days. In case of any complications. But all good

I'm not in New Jersey, but I had the sleeve in June and I would do it all over again. I stayed in the hospital one night, only because I reacted badly to the anesthesia.

If your in northern NJ why not go to NYC. I was at NYU. If you have a complication you don’t want to be in a ‘center’ you want to be in a multidisciplinary full hospital.

      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.
