I think there are some local forums and if you can find one for CT, you might get better responses there.

Did you have Dr. Raftopolous from St. Francis in Hartford?

I'm from CT and I had my surgery last week with Dr. Nadzam at Yale. I love him and his office staff! I did all my pre op requirements with a different surgeon then switched to him last minute for insurance reasons. They made it easy and it all worked out fine.

I'm 6 months post op. Not sure how I would rate my experience with him. The group is still there but not sure I want to stay there or try to follow him. Thinking I want to try someone new or no one at all. I really would like a good support group. I never went to St. Francis for theirs, since I'm over an hour away (live in northeast CT), and it was only for 45 min once a month.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
