I just started my Journey was wondering if anyone was from Maine I could talk too.

I'm in Maine but I'm on the southern coast so I'm going to Portsmouth NH for my surgery. Where are you located?

I'm just getting started, waiting to get the appointment for my first meeting! I'm in Raymond Maine ???? would love to hear your experiences! I'm going through the Maine med weight and wellness program!

I'm not too far ahead of you shasha1974 and not far away either... Bridgton here.

VSG-4-ME, I have my orientation class on August 20th and social worker meeting the 24th! I have a 6 month supervised weight loss with my pcp, so it feels like a long way off! But I know it will fly by as time always does! Are you going through the me med program too? Maybe we could be surgery buddies ???????? it's great to have others to chat with about it!

I am in Machias, Maine. I actually just got my surgery date for September 24th. I go to Bangor for my surgery. They actually switched me to the gastric bypass because of my really bad heartburn, said if I got the sleeve it would get incredibly worse so now I'm having that one, which is scary for me but I;m ok with it. They wanted to do the surgery August 31st but that's the day I go back to work. I work at an elementary school. I wanted to be there the first few weeks to get a routine down before I just leave for a week or two. 57 days and counting down. I'm nervous and excited to get my life back to healthy. Eating has been a struggle since I've had to wait. Part of me wants to eat what I can while I still can but I also need to keep my weight going down to get the surgery at all. I will update again when I can.

I'm going through CMMC's program. I have my nutrition and cardiac visits on August, 5...and my psych visit on August, 19.

i hope all your meetings have gone well! I just had my orientation yesterday and my first psych meeting Monday! It's a long process but time has been flying by! I'm thinking I'll have mine sometime in January or February as I have to do the 6 months of weigh ins and lose 29 pounds before any surgery!
