Looking for an opinion-Dr.Anthony McCluney

My first visit was in august I was 257. I'm 5'5" and 47 years old. Today I was 200.4. Ultimately I'd like to get to 150. I'm hoping to get there by the Fall. My surgery was in Brighton also. Is the lake your live near in Wakefield? I'm in North Andover.

You must be thrilled about surgery. I haven't attended one of the support groups at St E's but am going to try to as the days get longer. I think they are the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month.

Yes, I live near the Wakefield lake! It's a great place to walk! I haven't gone to the support groups yet but who knows what the future holds! My Dream goal weight would be about 140 but I don't know how realist that would be to maintain for me... But we shall see!! The 26th can't get here fast enough!!!!

How you holding up? Getting very close now.

I'm good! The 26th can't get here fast enough!! I'm curious to see how I do ... Will I be one if those who recover quickly after surgery? Will I lose quickly? Or will I experience all the bumps I hope not!!! I am dying with anticipation! How are you doing?

Just had my surgery wed March 26th with Dr. Mccluney. I could not be happier his team had been wonderful!! Everyone at Saint Elizabeth's have been nothing shorter than outstanding! It was a very long process to get here and I know my journey has only just begun, but I am confident that with such an amazing team behind me the only option is to succeed!!

Hi Jojo. I was thinking about you but wanted to give you a few days after surgery. It sounds like all went well. The whole team at St E's is fantastic. I look forward to my follow ups with Martha, always learning something new. So glad you are well. Take it slow for the first week then there will be nothing to hold you back. Best of luck and keep the updates coming. You are a "loser" now; said in the nicest of ways of course.

Thanks Denise!! Feeling good went for a walk around the lake today and felt good! Still struggling with the fluids, Protein Drinks go down a bit better and can get 4oz down at a sitting. Thank God for sugar free Popsicles!
