Hopefully I'll have my date today...very anxious to get this done..

I had mine at Lahey Burlington but two of my friends did Salem and had no issues.

I was looking at Lahey also but I found it a bit difficult getting that 1st appt. i also didn't know what their program looked like. I know someone who had it done in Salem a few yrs back.

I'm having it done in Salem, MA next Wednesday. Who is your doctor?

I'm having my sleeve done at Salem Hospital in Salem, MA next Wednesday. I can't wait. Good Luck!

Dr Rivera...are you excited?

I'm at Tobey in Wareham, way down south of you, (or should I say "y'all"? ) and waiting to get my date, too. Good luck!

Hey there... How was your program? Did you have to take classes and does yours require the 2 week liquid diet?

Tanya,

I am really excited. Did you get a date yet? Maybe we will see each other during the 8 week post-op program.

Yes, NSMC makes us go through a 4 week Pre-op program and then we have to do a 2 week Liquid Pre-op diet. After surgery we have an 8 week Post-op program we have to go though.

Support groups are also offered once a month. I have found them very informative.

Which dr is preforming your surgery? Is the liquid diet dreadful?

I don't have a date yet, I should have one sometime next week.

Dr. Benedetto is doing my surgery. The liquid diet isn't to bad. You can have 3 carnation instant milks with Simply Smart milk, 1 Greek yogurt a day, and a small portion of fruit each day. I'm feeling great. Today I feel like a cheese pizza slice.

If you don't hear on Monday, give them a call. I had to call.

I'll try and keep u posted after the surgery.

Dr Benedetto did someone I knows surgery, she looks fabulous

I will keep calling, I just want to be done already... Pls keep me posted and good luck!!
