Moving to CT



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I'm moving to Naugatuck, CT area in a few weeks and need to find a new physical support group and surgeon's office for follow up care. I can still do some of the stuff online and with infrequent visits back to PA, but would feel better with someone local.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Kathy

I know there is a weight loss surgery clinic at both Danbury Hospital and at Waterbury Hospital. Waterbury is probably closer to Naugatuck. I went to the Danbury clinic a few years ago to learn about WLS, but I am not sure if they do the VGS procedure, though, you may want to check...I know they are terrific in terms of clinical support. I don't know much else about them, as I had my surgery in Mexico ...welcome to CT! and hope your move goes well!

Any of the hospitals should have some support groups.

Dr. Flochs' group meets in Norwalk (I think) about 1/2 hour away---by the way, they are moving one of their offices to Shelton which is close to Naugatuck.....they have the bariatric center of excellence title......they are great.....there are 2 surgeons (brothers) and a third surgeon/partner......lovely, lovely people, met them all....

There's Yale New Haven Hospital, St. Raphael's Hospital (both in New Haven, and merged recently)

St. Vincent's hospital, bridgeport

There's a hospital in Milford, but last I knew they didn't do WLS and didn't have a support group.

If none of these are viable options, please send me a PM, and I'll do some digging around......welcome to CT!

I live in Ansonia, so DERBY is super close! Thanks so much, I just called them and they were super nice and helpful and welcoming and just what I needed to hear. The move stress has me fallen off the wagon a bit, so now I can be back on track. Best wishes to you.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
