Who was your surgeon?

Who was your surgeon? Did you use someone in CT or go out of state?

I had my surgery with Dr Timothy Ehrlich from Ehrlich Bariatrics. He is now performing surgery at Griffin Hospital in Derby. I had a wonderful experience with him.

I am hopefully having my surgery in November with Dr. Benbarhim from MidState Medical Center in Meriden - so far it has been a great experience - the team is helpful and very positive.

I had my sleeve on Nov. 7th at St. Raphael's hospital with Dr. Geoffrey Nadzam. He is an awesome surgeon and I am doing really well. St. Raphael's is a Bariatric Center of Excellence and Dr. Nadzam's staff is phenomenal. I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. I feel terrific for only 5 days out and hopefully each day will just get better.

I'm a patient of Drs. Tishler and Papasavos. My last consult is June 23, then I'll just be awaiting approval from China. I'm glad you liked Dr. Papasavos! I'll be so glad to be through surgery and onto my new life!

Cigna, not China! Goofy auto correct!!!

I am a patient of Dr. Tishler also. I am getting sleeved on May 23rd. I am all set finally. Just getting thru the pre-opt diet now. It is amazing how much weight you loose if you follow it. So far the staff and Doctors with Hartford Hospital Surgical Weight loss program have been excellent.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
