That's 3 major Boston hospitals covered! Funny. My husband works for mine, so our insurance is tied into it. Turns out they're also awesome. -

Anxiously awaiting my date...was hoping October, but they have to approve me, "the team", to see the surgeon and we book the surgery at that appointment...I've been bugging the staff cause I can't plan and its driving me crazy!!! Too many holidays upcoming and I want to be well for Xmas. I'm at BIDMC. -

I stalked someone into coffee with me last weekend! -
I'm pre-op, with long curly hair that sheds anyways...I've already started Biotin 5,000 (I guess I'll up it to 10) and this same shampoo and I have noticed less shedding already! I will keep up this plan after surgery...

gettingAllieback replied to Taylor06's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I just met diamond3 for coffee this weekend and I have to say meeting a success in person has been very motivating! I suggest all pre-ops do it, at least emails. She answered tons of questions and I'm sure I'll have more for her! We will be sleeve sisters and its a culture all it's own, so it's nice to share:-). I hope to pay it forward in the future... -

Psychotherapy
gettingAllieback replied to Sleeved in Seattle's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Pre-sleeve here, but I'm an LICSW Social Worker. First visit: she should've worked on building a repoire with you, asked you about your goals for "the work" in therapy and played to your strengths. I like none of what she said. She'd get only more chance with me. That being said, there's a therapist for every client. If you like her, and she helps you, then so be it! There's a million out there... -
Smallest possible clothing size with excess skin?
gettingAllieback replied to AtlantaRed's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 40 and 5'4" and pre-op. I have two kids and some saggy fat and I'm 235. Been over 200 for about 8 years (kids...), but before that I was a solid medium tops and 10 (maybe 12) pants but I'm a pear shape: bigger on bottom. My current bra size is 38C (barely), but my goal weight bra size (about 150 lbs.) was a 32B...those puppies are gonna be a deflated mess! I've only qualified as a 40 BMI for about a year +, but it's time!!! -

Hi! Just looked through this thread as I'm from Watertown and saw two of you had Dr Schneider @ BIDMC--he's my guy!!! I'm pre-op, just waiting to pass through the "team" any day and get my appointment with him and book my date! I was hoping by the end of Oct/early Nov. I have emailed two Bari-Buddies from the program who had sleeves with him and one has been very positive and helpful. I'm making up my list of questions for him now...so excited to see two recent sleeves from him on here! Do you go to the support groups? Hope to be in touch with both of you:-) -

gettingAllieback replied to Indigo1991's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Your post brought me to tears, because as my username reflects...I haven't been myself in years ...so much of my headspace is taken up everyday with this weight issue. I feel like I will be free again and I can't wait. I'm gonna be the active mom and wife that I should be or that feels like its trapped in this body!!! Thanks for your thoughts.
