Anyone from Maryland?

[BriJanaye 2]

Hi Heather!

My name is Brittany and I am currently in the process for the sleeve procedure. I reside in Harford County, MD and I am in month 6 of the six month process. My paperwork will be submitted the second week of June. I know Harford County is a ways from Hagerstown but if you need a support system, you can count me as one!

Please feel free to PM me.

I wish someone would start a site giving details from beginning to end. How do u think he was and how was your recovery?

Sonia.. I'm not going to lie.. First 3 days was hard and terrible. But I will tell you this I was able to go back to work after 7days. I was a little weak and that's it. The hospital took care of me very well. Within 4 weeks I was at the beach. I had my surgery in July 10 2013. By the end of August, I had my energy back. I wouldn't change a thing. Nothing to be scared about.. You will get through and wonder like everyone else why it took you so long to have the sleeve.Yeah.. It would be nice to have a website to go too.. There are two Facebook pages you can go to.. Search Maryland and DC bariatric. If you can't find it let me know.. I was lucky I befriend someone in Arianne nutrition class and we did the surgery together and corresponded daily..if you need anything or advice you can message me.. I know how it felt when I first decided to do the surgery.. Nervous, scared.. Hoping the insurance pay for it, anxious.. Want to cry... So on... You will be ok.. Take a breath.. I was in your shoes a year ago.. And today... I feel like my life has been given back to me.

Thank you. Talking to someone who has went through AAMC feels good. I have a class this week and hope to meet some people I can become friends with and who can be a good support too. I think all the stories about the sleeve leaking and complications make me nervous. But dr gandsas does this surgery a lot. For him it's probably a walk in the park. I would love to see before and after pics if your willing to share but if your like me. I don't like to have my picture taken.

[Tabby Closet 39]

After the surgery you will be taking a lot of pics

[soniaJ 49]

Yes I probably will just to see the difference and changes in my body.

I am doing great I am at my purée stage right now , I am at stall and I been on it for like 2 weeks it feels like forever ! lol other then that I feel the same , the only thing I miss is being able to go out with my friends and drink and eat without having to think about it

My goodness, I hear u, I've been on a stall for about a week now too. I lost 30 so far so I'm not rushing, as long as it happens. The only thing that's weird is I never ate while I was out now I'm constantly trying to eat. Its just weird..
