I havent found many CT sleevers on here. A few and they have been wonderful to me. I find that the support groups are few and far between and would love to develop something more!

Hi! I'm from the Danbury area. Surgery was June 2013 at Danbury Hospital.

Hi Bkworm73. My surgery was November 25, 2014 at Hartford Hospital.

Hi all. My surgery date is 3/16 with Dr. Gedeon at Bristol Hospital. So excited, nervous, scared, ready! Lol

Hello CT - Checking in from Branford. This bad weather has been a challenge! I'm lucky in that I can work from home on snow days, but do find it harder not to graze and wander into the kitchen when I'm not in the office. Also looks like with the snow coming, I won't make it to the gym tomorrow. But I have a plan! Bought some stretchy cords and a few weights and a yoga mat, so I have no excuses! I can do some planking, I can walk up and down the stairs, etc. Exercise has been the key to my body transformation. I haven't lost an extraordinary amount of weight, but I look very, very different and my size in clothing is going down much faster than the scale. Was in a size 22W pants on day of surgery, now just bought my first pair of size 12 petite! I think I got lucky with those pants, because my 14s still fit, but still - was so excited I burst into tears in the Dress Barn fitting room and had to call my mother!

I hope you all have a nice day -- sun is still shining here!

Ellen

Congrats all on your success! Just made a year out of Danbury. 134lbs down.

My surgery was June 2013 as well! The 13th at DH with Dr. Choi. Down almost 90 pounds with about 5 pounds to where I was to be.

Hello! Lindsay here from Collinsville. I'm just starting my journey but I will be having my surgery at Midstate. Nice to see some CT people on here!

Day 3 of my pre-op diet. I think the tide is finally turning. The last two days have been tough but the scale is responding already!

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?

Hi - I had my surgery in August at Yale by Dr. Roberts. The hospital experience was really good. They took very good care of me. Spent two nights. In on Wed, out by Friday afternoon. Back at work (but from home - no driving) on Monday. Of course I do most of my work on a computer or on conf. calls -- couldn't have done a physical job for a few weeks.

Good luck. You'll be fine. Your profile doesn't say - are you a man or a women? Care to share your age? I'll be 57 in a few weeks, and I am doing well.

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!!

Hey Guys I haven't been on here in a while, but I did have my surgery (VSG) on February 2 2015 at Yale. My Surgeon was Dr. Duffy. I'm about 7 almost 8 weeks out and I feel great!!! I'm down 30lbs since surgery. Good luck and Congrats!!! to all who have had and who will be having surgery.

Sleeved 3/16 at Bristol Hospital. Dr. Gedeon. Feeling great!
