Oh great! Best of luck. If you have any questions, just ask and please let us know how you make out.
Just had my final clearance and pre op...surgery is set for weds. This liquid diet is really hard...I'm so hungry but I know it will pass. Kind of nervous for the surgery because I do not know what to expect. Thanks for asking!!!
Thank you for your reply to my post. I have heard nice things about Dr Holover and have u experienced any issues since your surgery? How long we're u in the hospital? And when did u return to work? I work for the airline industry in JFK and I'm afraid of the dumping syndrome I hear about I don't want to be in the middle of boarding my flight and have to GO!!
Ok, great. Winthrop is also terrific.
Franekbelly my surgery is at Winthrop Medical Center in Mineola Thank you so much for the good wishes I'm so glad to hear that your pain level was minimum - I'm anticipating only good results here as well I'll let you know how it goes!!!
I had mine at St. Lukes/Dr. McGinty - he was great! OK, we can aim for the Spring. It's nice to know others that live (relatively) closeby
The pre op diet wasn't bad at all. I had the shakes for the first day but it stopped. The shakes are good and broth helped because it was the only non sugar item I could have. I was just excited to do it because I was excited about the surgery. It went fast.
I am happy with Dr. Garber and he has been great so far. Dr. Halover did my Endoscopy test and he was great...I live in Syosset on Long Island so I go to the NHP office or if I need to, the NYC office when they have availability so I don't have to worry about getting back in time. I have had a great experience so far...just counting down the days until the surgery. Not looking forward to the pre op liquid diet
Thanks, that would be nice. Maybe in the Spring, that would work better for me. I am on Long Island, but used to work in Manhattan. Who was your surgeon?
Hi - Nice to meet you! So glad you're from NYC!! I'm dying to meet and get together with some GS gals!! Would you be off for a meetup sometime in February?
