I'm in Maryland...Baltimore County. I will be having my surgery at Bayview Medical Center. I have my last weight management appointment on August 18th. I have already completed my psych, nutrition and cardiac appointments. I'm somewhat excited but apprehensive. It would be great to have mutual support close by. [emoji846]




Yes, keep in touch.

Hello....my name is Tamie. How did your surgery go with Dr. Green? I had my consultation with him the beginning of July 2017. I'm now in the process of getting all my test done and waiting for my insurance to approve the surgery.




I will definitely be calling you. I live in Elkridge which is not far from bmore, between Columbia mall and Arundal mills. Tamie 410-292-8420

Hi everyone. I too am in the MD area, Annapolis. I am having my surgery with Dr. Brebbia in Washington DC. Scheduled in early September. How is everyone doing? I am very nervous but I have been waiting to have this gastric sleeve now for a while. Looking forward to it.

Wow I've been on this site for about 3 months and never see anyone close to me. It's always Southern md. Glad to know I'm not alone. Good luck with your surgery. Let's keep each other posted.

30 years in MD (Sykesville/Eldersburg) but I moved to Colorado last year Good luck to all of you! I've enjoyed the nostalgia of listing all those places. I am pre-op here in CO, but wish I had done this years ago in MD when a doctor first suggested it!

Good luck to you as well. And better later than never. It's great you are getting sleeved now. All that matters is that you are doing in now. Where are you in your pre op process?

Thanks....trust me I tried to get my insurance to pay, but my employer opt out of weight loss surgery. I figured I'll get a loan through care credit. I generally invest in other things, so I'll invest in my health. Thanks so much. Good luck to you! Keep in touch

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
