Surgeon Testimonial

Anne Lidor
On 6/10/2011 I had the VSG done by Dr Anne Lidor at the John Hopkins Bayview Medical Center.
Dr. Lidor is a competent surgeon with a lot of energy. She talk fast and moves swiftly.
I came to the center with a lot of information at hand and I let her know that upfront. I think because of this I did not get a ton of information from her but she informed me about risks and expectations.

This center does have a strong focus on the RNY and if you are getting sleeved I would advise you to research on here, online, read,read,read. This center does a 40f bougie sleeve size so if you want a smaller sleeve look elsewhere. There are fewer complications with the 40 vs the 32 but I have heard that the mature 40 sleeve holds a bit more food than the 32. That may make a difference in maintenance. For me it will not matter as I know I have to exercise and eat measured amounts.

My biggest complaint is that I had to literally ride the damn office staff for my info to get submitted, approved and getting my date.etc. That was a real pain. I never got a call from the finance lady, I worked closely with the coordinator and got things done.

The hospital stay was 2 nights. Some nurses were better than others (the 3rd shift ones) The day nurses ..smh -no comment. I came out alive so I won't complain.

Month 11
on May 15, 2012 6:24 pm

Today I am 132. I did hit a low of 129.4 April 28th but my cycle came and so did the typical 4-5 pounds of bloat. I am now going down again YIPPEE! I think I want to maintain between 130-135 BUT I am not opposed to losing down to 125 and stopping there.

Next month is my 1 year surgiversary and follow-up with my surgeon. I have to make sure my protein levels are up. Last time the numbers were low--even though my food intake is 90%protein--make that 95!..

Still no regrets about the sleeve. My measurements are 30-25 1/2-35 and I can wear a size 2 some 4's.
