Fellow NH sleever here! Sleeved in May 2015 & have lost 125 lbs so far. My journey has been mostly enjoyable and pretty successful so far.

Where are going for your sleeve? How are things going now?

Best of luck!

Let me know if you have any questions ... that is my program too and I am now one of the graduate speakers for the meetings. :) Dr. Gould is awesome & so is the staff. The nurses at Elliot were laughing at me because of all the laps I did around the floor at 1 & 2 am!

I was sleeved at Tufts in Oct 2014. Wish I had done it sooner, but maybe I wasn't ready. Delighted with the results. Approaching 100 pounds gone. The stalls or plateaus are the hardest part for me. Newly retired and living the energy. Also since surgery have had both knees replaced and one shoulder. Excellent results.

Are the support groups open? And for post-op folks? I would love to get information, thoughts and .....well, support from others locally who have had this done and going to.

Hmm, I don't know about post op support. I hope there is something out there.

WorkinOnMe, maybe I'll see you at one of the next meetings ????

There are post op meetings once a month at Catholic Medical Center in Manchester. I just go. I'm also part of a group in Boston. It's a long way, but I really need it. We are switching to online meetings in two weeks. I like the live meetings, but will probably do ok. Communication with like minded people is most important to me. Hope everyone is hanging in there. Each day is a new beginning. I remind myself.

Well, and maybe I am naïve about these things, why can't a group of us locally establish something? Seems simple enough. Every library I have been associated with lets groups gather there. And that is just one option. I would think this could help many.

Don't be too nervous. Of all the surgeries I have had this was the simplest to deal with. The results you will get are well worth any short-lived discomfort you might have.

You won't need it but good luck.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
