Topic: RE: VSG sceduled for June 1
I had RNY with Dr. R on 10/13/09, and gallbladder removal with him on 5/6/10.
I LOVE Dr. R!!!! As long as you are honest and upfront with him, he will give you the best care.
His office staff is the best!
Good Luck !

Topic: VSG sceduled for June 1
Hi-I finally made the decision to have surgery and chose Dr. Raftolopolus at St. Francis Hospital in Hartford. After doing tons of research, I decided on the vertical sleeve. My surgery is scheduled for June 1, and I just started my 2 weeks of liquid diet. Has anyone else out there had VSG? Has anyone had Dr. R? Looking for advice.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Topic: RE: CT VSGer's :looking for your outlook
Hi ,
Thanks for replying. I've since started a weightloss program with Weight Loss Clinic LLC. in East Haven and have lost 22 1/2 lbs in 3 weeks. It's a high protein, low carb no sugar diet mainly shakes , bars and such with one meal of protein and veggies. It's easy and I don't find myself hungry. I'm going to stick with this till something changes with insurance. I wish you the best of luck and a quick and smooth recovery. Let me know how your doing.

Topic: RE: DS support group
Yes, I wish more docs would do the DS. I traveled to NYC for mine. There still are a few of us around--so far only found 3 but there are other folks from up north that want to meet up so we'll start with that.
Thanks, Kathy!
Thanks, Kathy!
Topic: RE: DS support group
I don't think there are any doctors in CT that are performing the DS at this time. So, you may have a bit of trouble finding support. I'm still waiting for one of them to start, don't want to have to go to NJ. Good luck in your quest!
