Boston/ Massachusetts peeps! Looking for a group of sleevers in my area!



Recommended Posts

Hello! I was sleeved on April 13! I'm trying to get a group of Boston people together to hang out , talk, swap stories, progress, recipes, etc. I've found since I had my surgery that a lot of my friends have become distant and stopped including me in stuff because they think I can't eat or drink. This app is great and all, but I figured a group meeting together sort of like our own support group, would be great! We could plan outings and stuff like that?! If anyone is interested, let me know!! Thanks .... Dawn

Let your friends know know you still can, you want to be there to enjoy their company. You can eat what you are allowed to at the appropriate stages and bring home the leftovers in a box.

If they are doing this because they incorrectly feel you would be pressured to eat or drink, that is very nice.

If they are doing this because they feel guilty about eating or drinking to excess and you are a reminder of what they should be doing, then they are doing you a favor.

I'm out on the Vineyard and have a surgery date of 7/18 at B&W. I'd love to stay in touch for future potential support gatherings. I know I'm not in Boston, but I do go there fairly regularly.

I live in Metrowest and work in down town Boston. Had my sleeve yesterday! Made it through the first night pretty well.

Boston Medical Center has a monthly support group for bariatric patients in Quincy. You don't have to be a BMC patient to attend and many young women (problably in their late 20s/ early 30s) spend time together outside of the group.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
