Shaydi.Laine 237 Posted February 24, 2016 NH here. Just approved for 3/16/16. And nervous... Don't be too nervous. Of all the surgeries I have had this was the simplest to deal with. The results you will get are well worth any short-lived discomfort you might have. You won't need it but good luck. Thank you Blamo, and congrats on your progress!

NH-Pam 2 Posted February 25, 2016 Hi All, Would love to join this group! I went through the CMC program and was banded back in 2009, the band slipped had revision surgery in 2010, it slipped again then had it removed completely in 2011. Needless to say all the success I had in that first year is gone and I'm back to square one. I'm now attending the Dartmouth program and hope to have sleeve surgery with Dr. Wood at the Elliot in March or April. Looking forward to getting to know everyone and talking about the sleeve process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mbelisle 2 Posted March 7, 2016 I had mine done in July and have had no problems. Should have done it years ago. Lost over 100lbs since surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inspyrdbyu 38 Posted April 9, 2016 Going through Dartmouth Hitchcock, having surgery at the Elliot in Manchester. I just attended my first support group meeting. Surgery day can't come soon enough lolAre the support groups open? And for post-op folks? I would love to get information, thoughts and .....well, support from others locally who have had this done and going to.I'm in the process of going through my approval steps at cmc in Manchester. They have great open support groups monthly for both pre and post op. Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
