 I've been waiting about 2 years. 
I am very excited and a little bit stunned that its happening.  
He is an amazing doctor. We are in good hands..

Don't despair, your time will arrive. Did they give you an estimated
month?

Next month, it will be two years.   I had spoken to Martine months ago and from what I understood, , it may not be until next year but am hoping that since Rockland has openeed p, it could be sooner.    I keep wanting to call her but decide against it.  She is busy and I don't want to be a pain.....   I wish I had er email tho.   

He is absolutely an. Amazing doctor.    Am very comfortable with him which is rare for me.  Have always felt that doctors take one look at me and say well she has a cold cause she is obese.  ..know what i mean?     

We are definately in great hands.   :-).      

I too am extremely nervous about it but am more excited at how much better i will feel n look in  the long run.    Healthier.  :-).     

The phone will ring soon :-).   

Am excited for you.   Let us know ow he optifast goes. 

Take care

Hi lgm!

I was operated exactly one week ago by Dr.Denis. He is an amazing doctor. You are in great hands! Are you get the sleeve?

Hi there,

Congratulations on your sleeve...wow you must feel sooooo relieved.
I somehow feel like I am on the edge of my seat, just waiting!
I am getting the sleeve as well.  I don't doubt Dr. Denis, I know he is amazing.
My only concern is going home right after I wake up from recovery. I think I could have used the overnight hospital stay.  Anyhow, I have to make it work this way.  Its coming up!

You keep up the good work and rock that sleeve....keep us posted on your progress!

 Hello again... How come you r going home same day?? They kept me in hospital for 3 nights . Usually it is 2 nights but I had a band removal and my surgery was supposedly very difficult because of that.  I am not an expert on this but having has the surgery, I strongly recommend that you ask to stay at least one night- at the minimum... Let me know if you need anything else or if you have any questions
