Hi, to all WNY'ers!!! I, just know I'm not the only one out there, lol! I'm 6 days post op, overall, doing well!!! So, how's everyone else doing???

Hello all I'm just about a year out from my sleeve and down 110 lbs but stalled for some time now and need a jump start if anyone has any ideas it will be greatly appreciated. Dr Hoffman was a miracle and I has changed my life

Do you ever come to the support group at BGH? I find them very motivating when I go. It's nice to talk to people who are going through the same thing as you. The NP and RN that run the group are great and very supportive. They are the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 5 or 5:30 (I'm not sure which).

Good news!! I finally got my date to be sleeved! I'll be sleeved on April 14th!! Had my pre-op this morning at ECMC (that's one hell of a maze of a place). I'll have my pre-op class at Synergy next Wed & start my pre-op diet next Friday. SO excited - yet getting kind of nervous!

good luck with everything the pre op class was very informative I had the gastric sleeve done October 3rd 2013 and dr Caveratta did mine at sisters and the first few days are the toughest with the ore op diet but after that it's easy

I go Thursday morning to meet with Dr Caravetta at synergy! I am getting very excited my self! Good luck Zoey!!

YAY Zoey! I know you are sooo ready for this! I'll do just fine!!!! <3 <3

Hey anyone with IHA try and get their protein paid for by Insure Nutrition? If so were you approved? And how long did it take?

I have IHA and was going to try as well to get the shakes covered. I tried to look on IHA website, really didn't find anything except for weight loss prescriptions were not covered. It would be great to find out!

I've gone to the meetings the last 2 months. They are held the last Thursday of every month @ Synergy @ 6:30. We meet for about an hour or so. I really do like the meetings. Everyone is so supportive and willing to share their journey! If you can't make tomorrow - come next month! I mayyy be there. I'll be about 10 days post op then!

I didnt realize that they were only once a month. That stinks!!

i will definately have to make next months. You are getting closer and closer. Have you thought about what protein shakes you are going to use? Kathryn told me they recommend the Bariatric Fusion ones. I have read that alot of poeple like and use the Premier. I have my appt tomorrow morning with Dr. Caravetta. I am really looking forward to it.

Is anybody else with medisource having trouble scheduling their surgery at synergy???

I personal did not like the taste of fusion drinks. I drink designer whey brands and champion whey and cost is not bad at all

Anyone else on the "wait list" for synergy with medicaid insurance?
