I'm in Maryland...Baltimore County. I will be having my surgery at Bayview Medical Center. I have my last weight management appointment on August 18th. I have already completed my psych, nutrition and cardiac appointments. I'm somewhat excited but apprehensive. It would be great to have mutual support close by. [emoji846]




Yes, keep in touch.

Hello....my name is Tamie. How did your surgery go with Dr. Green? I had my consultation with him the beginning of July 2017. I'm now in the process of getting all my test done and waiting for my insurance to approve the surgery.




I will definitely be calling you. I live in Elkridge which is not far from bmore, between Columbia mall and Arundal mills. Tamie 410-292-8420

Hi everyone. I too am in the MD area, Annapolis. I am having my surgery with Dr. Brebbia in Washington DC. Scheduled in early September. How is everyone doing? I am very nervous but I have been waiting to have this gastric sleeve now for a while. Looking forward to it.

Wow I've been on this site for about 3 months and never see anyone close to me. It's always Southern md. Glad to know I'm not alone. Good luck with your surgery. Let's keep each other posted.

30 years in MD (Sykesville/Eldersburg) but I moved to Colorado last year Good luck to all of you! I've enjoyed the nostalgia of listing all those places. I am pre-op here in CO, but wish I had done this years ago in MD when a doctor first suggested it!

Good luck to you as well. And better later than never. It's great you are getting sleeved now. All that matters is that you are doing in now. Where are you in your pre op process?

Thanks....trust me I tried to get my insurance to pay, but my employer opt out of weight loss surgery. I figured I'll get a loan through care credit. I generally invest in other things, so I'll invest in my health. Thanks so much. Good luck to you! Keep in touch

      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
