Hi there! Just joined bariatric pal & was so happy to see posts from fellow Marylanders! I go to school in Catonsville, but I live in Frederick & am being sleeved by Dr. Stephen McKenna sometime in October. I've done most of my pre-op clearance stuff. Only the pulmonologist and cardiologist left! I go for a stress test this coming Monday, but I'm not really worried about any of it. My insurance required a six month waiting period, so I've been at this for a few months now. I'll have my clearance appointment at the end of September and I can't wait!

Nice to meet all of you! Wishing you all the best luck!

Just got sleeved on Monday. Dr. Gandsas was my surgeon. I like the program at AAMC and felt prepared (as much as possible) going into the surgery.

Hey MD. If anyone new or shortly post op. I have a few things I am moving on from or off. I over bought powder and have really been relying on premier ready made shakes for convenience. I have a large unopened bag of chocolate Bariatric Advantage brand shakes. I also have 3 items that are open not completely used 2 bottles of multi Vitamin chewables (Bari advantage brand) 1 bottle almost entirely full of Bari adv Calcium (I can't do these too berry and too sweet for me) and finally an unopened bottle of liquid Multi vitamin. I work in PG DM if you are interested --- completely free.
