    I live in Ridgefield CT. I used Danbury Hospital and found everything to be first rate. I shopped around at other hospitals and met other surgeons, I asked my Physician who was the best and worst bariatric surgeon and he didn't mince words. I went with the best, and he must be good because two weeks ago he became the Chief of Surgery for the whole hospital. Do your homework and listen to your intuition.

    I am new here, too. I am in Northeastern Connecticut and Dr. Nahmias from Saint Francis Hospital in Hartford will be my surgeon. I am very early in the approval process. Congratulations on having your surgery! How are you feeling? I hope you are recovering smoothly and easily. Welcome to the forum!

    I have dropped 80 lbs and I am down from a size 60 to a size 50 pants. No blood pressure meds since leaving the hospital!

    This was the right decision...

    I am from Connecticut. From Middletown, CT. So I am kind of close maybe about 45 minutes from you. I haven't had my surgery yet. I am just beginning the process. Just trying to read everything I can about gastric sleeve so I will be informed. I am back and forth about whether to have this surgery or not. I have some medical conditions that would benefit me healthwise by having the surgery.

    Hi I am from CT too. I am terrified to have this surgery but I need to have it done for health reasons. Have most people had a lot of success with this surgery? I am in the beginning of the process. I have a while to go before I get a surgery date. Did anyone have to wait awhile for their surgery date or is it different for each person?

    Hi I am from Middletown, CT. I am just in the beginning stages of the sleeve surgery. Were you happy with your results? Did you learn a lot from the seminar? How long would you say it took you from beginning to end of the process to get your surgery done?

    Hi shrinkinggirl,

    Could you tell me about your experience with Dr. Tishler and his group? You could pm me if you want. I might go with this group of doctors. I heard they are very good at what they do.
