I think there are some local forums and if you can find one for CT, you might get better responses there.

Did you have Dr. Raftopolous from St. Francis in Hartford?

I'm from CT and I had my surgery last week with Dr. Nadzam at Yale. I love him and his office staff! I did all my pre op requirements with a different surgeon then switched to him last minute for insurance reasons. They made it easy and it all worked out fine.

I'm 6 months post op. Not sure how I would rate my experience with him. The group is still there but not sure I want to stay there or try to follow him. Thinking I want to try someone new or no one at all. I really would like a good support group. I never went to St. Francis for theirs, since I'm over an hour away (live in northeast CT), and it was only for 45 min once a month.

      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.
