Hello Everybody, I'm from Cambridge, MA. I start my pre-op on Sept 15, 2014, my sleeve done on Sept 15, 2014.

I'm looking for some buddies, for both pre-op & after I get the sleeve. I'm having mine done at Hallmark Health in Medford by

Dr Lane.

Have a great day & good luck to all, Mychef

Hi All, Hope you don't mind a NH person chiming in. I am currently living in Salem, NH but grew up and spent most of my life in Newburyport, MA. I had band surgery on 4/16/12 in Lowell MA.

Hello and good luck. I have the band and don't know much about the sleeve or by pass as to pre op and post op diets. I wish you a lot of luck. I had the band 2 years ago at the BI/Boston. I love my band. I live in Randolph and go to BI/Milton for all my follow-ups. My surgeon is now at both hospitals.

The WLS is the best thing I ever did for my health. I hope your surgery will be also.

@@MaureenS I'm going great! Thanks for asking

I have an appt. today with Heather (nut).

Not exactly losing much, but I know it will come. It's only two weeks tomorrow.

Dr. Brams is so nice. Have been very happy with his care, and the entire team. Glad you're doing well too!

Hello. I live in Randolph and have the band for 2 years. My doctor is at the BI/Boston and BI/Milton. Sorry to hear about your back but you can do exercises in a pool. I have a bad back and knees and did PT in a pool for a few years until the pool closed. Just got lazy and never went to another place.

When is your surgery and what type of WLS are you doing?

Good luck with everything.

Hi Lisa.

We are neighbors. Small world huh?!

I'm doing really good. So good I can't believe I had surgery a week ago. The only tuff thing is I do get hungry sometimes and I can only have liquids for another week. I'm definitely sick of drinking so much! But I've lost 12 lbs in a week. So that's great. My goal is to loose 100 total.

My journey started in Feb this year. My insurance required 6 month supervised program. I basically went once a month to UMass to see all the specialists. Plus I had a sleep study done which showed I have sleep apnea. Plus I attended 4 weekly group forums. Then I was able to meet surgeon; Dr. Czerniach. He is awesome!! I liked everyone I had in the program. They are so nice to you. You picked a great place to go.

If you have any more questions please feel free to ask. I'm happy to answer anything. Who are u seeing on Friday? Good luck to you!!!!
