Dec 5th is coming right up! Hope you get a date soon! I'm doing good. Minimal problems. Just getting used to eating so slow and so little. Was at the gym tonight and was on the treadmill, thirsty. I went to take a drink of water, forgot for a brief second that I have the sleeve and took a big sip. I had such an uncomfortable feeling in my chest. Have t take small sips :-) Other than that, not bad at all. I'm down 27lbs. Little over 3 weeks

That's awesome that 27 lbs is gone so fast! I called MGH yesterday and after I meet with the surgeon I can begin the support groups and get approval. I honestly can't wait. I want this so bad. Hoping when I open my pool this summer ill be a lot happier in a bathing suit!

I got a date! January 22! I have a ton of appointments from now until then but I don't care, I'm just so excited! Waiting on insurance approval now....

Good luck I had mine done at Boston Medical 9/5 the time will fly by,

Thanks George! How are you doing? How's the weight loss?

Hello everyone,

New to this page. I live and Medford and I'm scheduled to be sleeved Jan 15th by Dr Denise Gee at MGH. Anyone have experience with her or MGH weight ctr?

Good luck George!!! I would do anything just to have a surgery date' date=' so i'm super jealous. All you MGH'ers.....how long did the whole process take? they seem to be pretty busy so I was curious what the timeline was like for some of you....[/quote']

Do you have a date with Dr Gee yet. I'm scheduled for 1/15 with her.

I had my surgery aug 15 2012 by dr shiroka at BWH in boston mass.

I am from the South Shore area too and I was sleeved on August 15 at the Brigham. I've lost just under 35 lbs so far and feel great. If I can answer any questions for you let me know!

Katie, I also had my surgery August 15 th 2012 at Brigham by dr Scott shiroka. I was on the 15 floor we would have been there the same time. They kept me for two half weeks after surgery. How are u doing with it?

Yes! I'm scheduled with Dr. Gee on 1/22!! Have you been doing support groups?

No. I'm scheduled for about 10 different dr visits over the next few weeks. Where and when do the support groups meet?
