What part of Boston are you located? I was sleeved 9/25/15 at BMC & have been looking to connect with people lately. I'm in metro west & it doesn't look like there are support groups out this way. I think it'd be great to meet others & swap stories & learn from others.

I was sleeved 7/18 at newton wellsley, they have free support groups several times a month, it's listed on their website. I am 99% sure anyone can attend, you don't have to have had your surgery there.

Commenting to follow the thread; my surgery was 8/8 at Winchester Hospital. I live north of the city but work in Boston - I don't know anyone "in real life" who has had weight loss surgery. I have a great FB and instagram support system but really don't like my surgeon's monthly support group so I don't go often. A lot of people who had the surgery years ago and come every month to tell everyone they know better, you know? I'd love to get together with people who are closer to the start of their journey sometime - I think we face different challenges than people who've been maintaining for years.

I am a " closet sleeve" only my husband 2 daughters and 2 friends that both had surgery at the same time know. Lowell general, has monthly support meetings , but truthfully I do not get much out of them. I am on 2 closed ( one is secret) face book pages. I find both very helpful.

I am 1 year 1 month out.

I had sleeve in 2014, having converted to RNY on Tuesday 10/11... live on South shore, surgery at Tobey hospital. Groups are good, but hard for me to get there. Would love to get something going....

Maybe we could start with a closed or secret Facebook page of mass- sleeved or lap and or what ever bariatric people? ( I say closed or secret) because even though I am just over 1 year out. I am not out. Only my husband kids and I friend that also had surgery know! Would love to meet up and maybe even find a group to do monthly activities like hike or what ever with.

Ok just my 2 cents even though I posted before lol

      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
