I'm in the process of being evaluated for VSG at EMMC with Dr. Toder. I don't have a very supportive group of friends to help with this process. I'm looking for a mentor who can answer questions, etc....

Hi Cindi,

My name is Brenda, I too live in Maine, the big town of Oakland. I am at about the half way point to surgery. I have Aetna and they require a few extra steps. So I can't even see the surgeon until after Aug. 11th. I am having my surgery done in Bangor at EMMC. Not sure which surgeon as of yet. We can discuss who has the most experience and how she does it. I would be happy to follow along with you and compare. I've done a lot of research and read anything I can. I believe I have this process down in order to get good results.

I am old so that helps .. LOL

If you're intersted in an older partner, I'm here.. You may be further along in the process so you may be able to help me?

:-) Have a great day!

I'm in NH (seacoast area) and had my surgery on March 24, 2011. I'd be happy to help in any way that I can!!! I'm 10 weeks post op today and am down a total of 44 pounds! About 16 pre-op and the rest since surgery. Feeling great! Just got back from a vacation at an all-inclusive resort......what a difference from last year! LOL

I am pre-op too from Anson, Maine however, I am going to Lewiston for my surgery. Met a woman from Winslow who is going to Dr. Loggins as well. Would like to follow both you Mainiacs.
