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 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

Starting weight 6 months ago was 303' date=' I'm now 274. Surgery is April 4 and I'm getting nervous![/quote']

Where do u go

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

Snazzy girl I'm going in for surgery tomorrow at Hartford hospital. Where did you have your surgery?

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

Good luck tomorrow! I am 3 weeks post op and doing well. It's a tough surgery but it will get better each day.

Thanks for the support ladies!! Can't wait to be on the other side!!

Bristol hospital

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!

Hi everyone! 4 weeks post op tomorrow. Haven't weighed in in a few weeks so I don't know exactly how many lbs I am down around 40 I think... Anyway I went shopping today as we are headed to vacation this week and had a personal victory. I was able to buy pants at Kohls for he 1st time. I actually fit into a 24 I was a 28!! Woo Hoo!!! So happy!

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!

Hello. I am from wallingford. I had my sleeve done by Dr. Benbrahim in Meriden on feb 19. Down 35 lbs. My nutrionist says I am a slow loser. I thought it was pretty good. Ha. Feeling good with no regrets or complications. Nice to see people from CT!
