Ursilla McMillan just left Saint Raphael's and moved to Springfield Mass. She will be working out of Mercy Hospital. She is awesome! Fixed my hernia when I had lapband. Just did my sleeve before she left. Accomplished, highly educated in her field, down to earth and easy to talk to. If you look her up you wll see for yourself. I worked at the hospital she used to work at for ten years. Doctors and nurses alike always sung her praises as well as the patients..

Thank you Lisa! Do you know if she is working with any office in Springfield?

Are you in the western part of the state? There's a lot of good bariatric programs around the Boston area. I had my sleeve done at Lahey clinic in Burlington. They're a really good team & I was well cared for. If it's a bit of a ride for you though it might be inconvenient. There are a LOT of appointments prior to & after surgery.

I went to The Beth Israel WLS. Daniel Jones did my surgery but they are all good. They usually go ahead and take out your gallbladder and they will repair any type of hernia situation that they find once they get in there. Mi went for my first visit on March 11 and had my surgery April 22nd (Monday). I feel good. Also The Beth Israel nurses after my surgery were fantastic!! Good Luck!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
