Hi everyone!

So good to see CT sleevers on here! I just got sleeved 2 weeks ago in Meriden with Dr. Verdura. I was 346 pre op' date=' now down to 310. I am having a few regrets, which is probably a normal way to feel this soon after surgery, but praying that it will be all worth it in the end. Really mourning the fact that I can't eat much anymore. Did anyone else feel this way? I live in the Waterbury area anyone else close by?? Would love to meet up.[/quote']

I live in Torrington had sleeve last may but scheduled for gastric bypass I've had pain when ever I eat or drink so dr is doing bypass long story

I have a confession I ate a piece of cheese pizza tonight! It was so good. It was really like a half slice but it went down ok. I gave the crust to the dog because I knew I never be able to handle that. It gives me a little hope that someday I will be able to eat something good again. Was I bein bad?? I am feeling so guilty...

No worries you can't gain on the little we are able to eat

I had mine at Yale one week ago today. Good luck with yours. Just remember each day is a little different and usually a little better. Walk walk walk as soon as you can and something helped me, Not sure if Hartford automatically oes it. But my throat was really dry and soar from being intubated. My nurses gave me these mouth sponges that I could wipe inside my cheeks. Really helped until I could drink

Thanks for the tip about the mouth swabs! I will definitely ask for them! I'm surprisingly very calm tonight, tomorrow may be a different story :)

Hi All! From Norwalk, CT - had my surgery with Dr. Zuccala at Danbury Hospital. He and his staff are all awesome! IMHO - way better than the practice I started out with (won't mention names because someone here said they liked them - don't want to offend anyone). I'm just over a week post-op, and down about 19 lbs. since surgery. Doing great so far other than the initial struggles to get the liquids/protein in which is much better now. I also have been having some acid issues - but that was mainly due to me trying to eat the broth from some Soup yesterday that turned out to be too spicy. Doc fixed that up right away yesterday with just another med. Glad to see other Nutmeggers here! :)

Hello fellow CT Yankees! I live in Madison. Had my surgery with Dr. Craig Floch at Norwalk Hospital. Best experience! The staff was amazing and the Drs attentive.

I am 6 months post op and have reached my goal. Lost 82 pounds. Down to 160 pounds.

Done Did It!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
