Hi Ellen, I am a 47 year old woman. I am so excited to get healthy this year! I have 2 kids 8 year old girl and a 10 year old boy. I started my family late due to infertility issues . My daughter is really worried about my surgery, so I am taking her with me today for my pre-op appt with Dr. Nadzam. How is your weight loss going? Thanks for reaching out to me, I love knowing someone who went to Yale and had a good experience. My surgery is actually at the St Rae's campus, they told me that in the fall they are opening up a Bariatric unit there and no more surgeries will be at the Yale campus. Keep in touch!!

Hi guys, I am from Higganum. My surgery is scheduled for next Tuesday, March 31. Having my sleeve done at Yale by Dr Nadzam. I am getting really nervous. I hope I am making the right decision. Second thoughts are normal, right?

It could be allergies, how did the excedrine work? Next time try tyenol because excederine has aspirin (blood thinner) in it, I know my doc has me off all those types of meds until after surgery. Hope you are feeling better

How's your water intake? Are you getting at least 64oz?

I'm March 31 also what dr. R u using? I am March 31st too. Only two weeks away!!

Hi, I am scheduled for surgery on March 31st. I also have blood pressure issues and I have a BMI of 42. My insurance company just changed their policy to require a 6 month waiting period before any bariatric surgery. However, my doctors office has been awesome and got me all my required appointments in a week. I was just approved for surgery (I think I got in under a short grace period). I live in CT and am having surgery at Yale. It is so nice to realize there are other people going thru the same things as me. I am so happy that you finally have your surgery date!!

Hi, my surgery is scheduled for March 31, 2015. I go for my pre-op diet class tomorrow. I would love to be in your support group. Good luck, let us know how you are doing.
