Hi! Just looked through this thread as I'm from Watertown and saw two of you had Dr Schneider @ BIDMC--he's my guy!!! I'm pre-op, just waiting to pass through the "team" any day and get my appointment with him and book my date! I was hoping by the end of Oct/early Nov. I have emailed two Bari-Buddies from the program who had sleeves with him and one has been very positive and helpful. I'm making up my list of questions for him now...so excited to see two recent sleeves from him on here! Do you go to the support groups? Hope to be in touch with both of you:-)

How is everyone else doing?

I'm very happy with my progress so far. In the beginning I thought I was going to be a slow loser, but I can't complain about losing just under 50lbs in 16 weeks! My diet is still pretty basic and boring though. Gotta learn how to cook one of these days!

gettingAllieback - welcome! Your date will come before you know it!

I just met diamond3 for coffee this weekend and I have to say meeting a success in person has been very motivating! I suggest all pre-ops do it, at least emails. She answered tons of questions and I'm sure I'll have more for her! We will be sleeve sisters and its a culture all it's own, so it's nice to share:-). I hope to pay it forward in the future...

So nice to read this!!! It was so great to meet you and talk to someone who really gets it!!! It's still a daily struggle to stay the course ---- so reading you refer to me as a success is something I can't even put into words!! Sleeve sisters- absolutely. Hope to have coffee with you again soon.
