I had surgery on July 30 2012. Dr Sebeti did my sleeve. I'm at a stall now, I haven't lost any weight in a month. I just finished the healthy habits workshop last night. I am taking Hungry Head class every Thur. Tonight will be the 3 week! Did you know their starting a women's support group. Not sure if it's for both post and pre-op. first meeting is March 26th at 6pm.

Are you feeling ok? I'm sorry you're in a stall pattern. I'd love to go to the group but my dad is having surgery that day so I'm in Boston all day. Have you been successful at losing a lot of weight? I'm excited to get started but know its going to be a long road. I have a 1 year old and a 4 year old and I'm worried about being able to care for them since I'm home full time with them. I live in Hudson NH. :)

I'm feeling good, I have so much more energy to do things! I have lost total 38 before surgery and 55 after. I am a home daycare provider and I took 3 weeks off. I could of went back after 2 weeks but needed another week emotionally. Do you have family that can help you with the kids after surgery. I have 3 boys of my own 7, 11 and 13. My mom came over a lot the first week to help me out. I also live in NH, Nashua.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
