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???

@@lavendermom3

Yes the one with the three workshops. There were 3 of us and the other two are still waiting.

Anyone else waiting on Synergy?

@@lavendermom3

Just found out one of the girls from my workshop got a date 3/16. So maybe you will be getting a call soon.

Fingers crossed.

I hope so! Still no word. Thank you for the update!!! I owe you

@@lavendermom3

You owe me nothing...just wish you would get a call with a date. Maybe this week (I hope)

@@butterfly125

I GOT MY DATE MARCH16TH 7:30AM. I am so excited! I am sure I will see your friend, maybe even in the presurgical workshop.

Did I mention..... sooooo excited.

@@lavendermom3


I am so happy for you. Yes, you may see her. Just finishing day 8 of LRD, it isn’t
too bad…boring and down 11 pounds. I really am so excited for you.

If you need anything just let me know.

@ Butterfly

Make sure you keep in touch. It would be great to hear about your post surgery. Congrats on the 11lbs so far!! They moved my date to the 4th. I won't be to far behind you!!!

I have my meeting at Snyergy wednesday. Hopfully they are helpful. I think I learned more from here. Did you try the unjury chicken Soup mix? I just ordered some. I am not a big fan of sweet. I am a big fan of Skinny and healthy.....

OMG we are soon to be losers! Yep pretty excited.

@@lavendermom3

Oh my goodness no date until today and already you are moved up two week…..good for you.
I am even more excited for you. Is the meeting for your pre op workshop? I have not tried
any of the unjury things. I did get a tub of the Fusion unflavored and mix that with some
of the premade drinks I have and it seems to cut some of the sweet. I haven’t gotten too
much post op items, I want to wait and try some things first. I have heard from some people
that their taste change and they couldn’t drink the same shakes as before surgery. I don’t
want to waste money on things I won’t be able to stomach.

@ Butterfly

Yes it is my pre op workshop. I heard the same thing about post op and taste changing. All I know is you have to get your Protein in. Totally agree with you. Not really into wasting money.

YOu must be getting excited yourself! Days away. I will keep you in my thoughts.

Another WNYer here. I've been reading the forums for two years or so. I have been back and forth on who to go with and I think I've decided on Synergy Bariatrics. I am chosing this mostly as that is the easiest for me to get to.

@@lavendermom3 I see that's your Dr. too. Can you tell me where they actually do the surgery? Is it ECMC or Buffalo General? I plan to call their office tomorrow to get the ball rolling and I think that's the only question I have, so far.

Thanks so much!

@ Itsmeanoymous

They do it at ECMC. My suggestion is go online and do the online seminar and print the paperwork out. Then call your primary MD and get them to sign the paperwork agreeing to the surgery for you. Send the paperwork back to Synergy and they will make you an appt. Call and Pay the money to have the NUT/nutirtion visit with Ann Marie. Get that stuff out of the way.

you can do alot of stuff right online first.

And Welcome to the group!!!

Thanks for the welcome, and the great advice! I will do that

@ It'sMeAnonyMouse

Welcome to the group, Synergy Bariatrics is where I am going too.
