Hi everyone! I just had my VSG on 4/17/18 and I am wondering if there are any of you that are from New England? I grew up in Massachusetts, specifically Cape Cod, but I moved to Vermont in 2006. Anyway, I know I saw someone s from Fitchburg, that is where my father went to college the first time. I have lots of family in the South shore (MA). say hello!

Hey! I’m from Connecticut (hope that counts) lol... sleeve scheduled for 5/31... anyone here on instagram?

Lol I always forget about CT thinking its more like NY. Sorry RI too! Lived in MA almost my whole life, moved to Vermont, they have a special nickname for us here, but living in rural Vermont for 12 years now I think it's kind of accurate. The best bumper sticker i saw (then bought) said, "I'm not mean, I'm from Massachusetts."

LOL SO TRUE. Where in Vermont you from?

Cabot area, up north. Not far from Montpelier, close to St. Johnsbury. But my half of my heart remains on The Cape.

Hey, S Shore here! I was sleeved on 4/2 so I'm just over 3 weeks out.

Good luck getting out your staples tomorrow! That was the day I finally moved without pain and yesterday at my 3 week point, I finally didn't feel like I could feel my internals moving around! (for lack of a better term)

Who was your surgeon? I went to Beth Israel and Dr Jones was mine. He likes metal staples too

I had mine done in UVM (Formerly Fletcher Allen up in Vermont) Dr. Abujaish did mine. Being from the Cape originally and having pretty much ALL my family on the South shore, I'm fairly familiar with Beth Israel. My mom had hers done at Mass Gen 12 years ago, it was funny that my surgeon knew her surgeon.

I'm a HUGE fan of the walking dead, one of my staple "marks" looks exactly like a zombie bite. I hope it stays that way, because I'm weird like that. 3 more days until blended solids!! I can't tell you how excited i am to have chicken in a blender (for reals!)
