Hello Guys

Sorry I haven't been around for a while. I was sleeved in late October and just took sometime away from work and everything to really prepare for this journey. You all have been my strength and motivation and I would have went nuts a looong time ago if I didn't have you all to lean on. Surgery went great and Im among the lucky ones as I have had ABSOLUTELY NO hunger. Im here to answer any questions for people prepping and im still checking in with all my vsg friends. Lovin the view from the losers bench.

Who did you surgery? I'm scheduled for Tuesday at Hartford Hospital, and very anxious about it.

Same question as Ian - my surgeon is Dr. Macaron from St. Mary's in Waterbury. Hoping for a date in January!

Thank you all guys, Im happy to be on the losing team! Ian, I actually work at Hartford Hospital so I know Dr. Tischler and Dr. Papasavas quite well. I chose to go with Papasavas just because of his exceptional bedside manner. They are both PHENOMENAL doctors, but Tischler is a little cocky and tends to talk over you. Im not working on tuesday, but if you need anything just inbox me and I can get it up to your room. Its good to have a little pull :ihih:

Thanks guys, it means a lot. Ian Dr. Papasavas is great. I was a little slow waking from anesthesia (great sleep) and he hung around until after 7 just to tell me how things went. He told me I had one of the smallest sleeves he had done and he was very proud of the work. I lost 17 on the ten day post op and 15 more after two weeks! it's melting off and NO hunger.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
