Hi macman. That's where I'm going. So many questions for you. Which dr did u have? How was your post op experience? Any complications? How much have u lost?

Hi I'm on the south shore , in ma! Getting sleeved 9/3/14 at st Elizabeth's!

Hi. I'm from central MA. I'm getting sleeved on 9/4/14 in Worcester. When did u start your journey. I've been at this since late February. The closer the date comes the more I get nervous. How about you.

Hey!! I started my journey in October of last year! Thinking the day would never come! And I got the call today just to verify hospital stay ect. I am getting very excited , nervous , a million diff emotions in one the closer it gets! I'm really nervous about the post op first cpl weeks and how my new stomach will be! Started looking around in the bariatric choice website for vitamins and diff shakes ect. Expensive but good protein! I'm so excited to have found another Bostonian and same day sleever!!!! ????

Hi there!

I'm getting sleeved at Lahey Hospital on 8/14. I go in for my pre-op on Thursday, and start my liquid diet Friday. Trying so hard not to have that "food funeral" state of mind this past week. It's tough!

Yes !!! I totally understand! I've had a few thoughts about a "last supper" myself! I was originally going on aug 12 th but I'm going on a vAca that week! It's coming up so fast! My surgeon and Nut have not mentioned anything about my pre- surgery liquid diet, we'll see when I go in on aug 21st to meet with the surgeon and the anesthesiologist!

My surgeon's asst said if I was going to have a "last supper" to do it a cpl of weeks before surgery. She said that I shouldn't think that I can't ever have certain foods ever again. Said to get in protein first and eat small amounts. I don't have to do liquid pre op diet. Just one day prior. Don't know how I'm going to handle all the protein drinks. I'm not liking them now but know I'll have to tolerate it. Ugh!!

Hey Leapyear! Going to Umass myself. Are you?

Leapyear- Mac man is very helpful. Helps me a lot! Good luck! What insurance do you have? Do you have a lot of requirements from them?

Yes I'm going to UMass. Dr Czerniach is my surgeon. Whose is yours. I can't believe we both going same day. Maybe we'll be roommates. Lol. I have Aetna req 6 month process. Can't gain any weight. Went thru all hoops just waiting for 6 month to be over.

Where do u live. I'm in Sterling.

I've corresponded with Mac man before.

I just can't believe we r both on same day and same place. Comfort in numbers. Yes getting more nervous as it gets closer.

I'm sorry I think you misunderstood. I don't have surgery the same day. But how GREAT would that have been.

I'm hoping for November. I have my first Nut appt tomorrow. I have no requirements from my insurance so hoping it will go by quick.

You will like Dr Czerniach. He is one impressive guy!

Hi all, wondering if anyone has used Dr. Schneider from Beth Israel Deaconess. I started the pre-op process with them at the beginning of the month.
