Looking around I feel like I'm the only one in CT doing this. Anyone from CT? Not sure if that's too personal of a question just looking to relate more to my area docs and facilities.

I am from CT & scheduled for a sleeve with Dr. McMillan this Thursday at St Raphael's. I had to do the ketosis & it was the worst. I lost 12lbs in 5 days. I am now on my 1000 calorie a day per-op diet. I am nervous, excited & anxious.

Great good luck I lost 17lbs on that damn ketosis crap lol. I cant wait to get my life back

I did not have to do ketosis. I am a week away from surgery and doing a low cal diet. Sooo excited and yet nervous. I went for pre op tests today and my pulse was racing. Nurse kept asking if I was ok. God I hope I am not like that on surgery day.

Just wondering, if anyone is within 30 minutes or so, I would live to have s buddy to celebrate our milestones. Maybe pedicure at 3 month or something like that. It would be nice to get together with someone that can relate

Is that with Erlich?

Yes I am with him

My mother always told me if I didnt have anything nice to say then dont say it all. I will wish you good luck though. We will have to share stories in our journey

Everyone has their own experience and i wish you the best

I fear that may have come out wrong I feel like I should explain. I LOVE Griffin hospital. That's the only downfall of getting the surgery done at Rays. I had attended his seminar at St. Vincent's and personally having a medical background I did not feel comfortable with the answers I was getting. I was referred to my doctor by several people that used him in the past. I didn't mean to sound nasty I hope I didn't come across that way. And hey we will hopefully be around the same time having surgery so we could go through together

When is your date?

My final insurance was set today and my contact says my insirance only takes a day or two so hopefully in the next few weeks. (Fingers crossed)

Good luck berrie23

Thank you momof5. I would love to keep in touch & see how our progress is going.

Momof5. Did u say pedicure? Oh definitely.

How are you feeling about all this? Your surgery is sooooo close

How do I feel or were you talking to someone else. Im confused lol

I know. I am a bit nervous on how I will be immediately after surgery. Will I be nauseous, throwing up, weak, in alot of pain & discomfort? Also how will my energy level be once I am home. Will I be hungry? Just lots of things going through my mind & I know each person is different. I hope I'm an easy case.
