Hi Everyone :)
Hi everyone! I just wanted to post an intro, since I have been lurking off and on for a while now. My name is Jessica and I live in lower Fairfield County. After a small struggle with my insurance company I have been approved for surgery and have a date of Sept. 28th. I know that this is what I want and what I *need to be able to function normally and to be able to LIVE again.
A bit about me...I am 36 years old and have a wonderful 1 year old daughter. She was a surprise blessing after suffering for years with PCOS. I had managed to lose about 50 lbs a few years back and ended up getting pregant - much to my happy surprise. Needless to say, I have gained back all 50 of those pounds and cannot seem to get them off no matter what I do. Thus, the decision to have WLS.
I look forward to getting to know you all. I hope that I won't pester you all with questions too much. I am just terrified that I will be the only person this surgery doesn't work for. I was also wondering if anyone here had used Dr. Floch's office for surgery? Thanks again.
Jessica
Hi Jessica,
Welcome to our group!! Congratulations on your surgery date.
Time is going to go by so fast you won't belive it. I think everyone worries that the surgery won't work for them but I think it works for everyone. I guess you can sabotage it, but after going through the surgey it seems as though you have a different mindset. Good luck to you and ask as many questions as you need. Remember knowledge is power!

HI JESSICA, CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD LUCK ON YOUR UPCOMING SURGERY. I REMEMBER HEARING HE WAS A GOOD DOCTOR. I BELIEVE HE IS IN NORWALK. WHICH IS WHERE MY DR IS TOO, DR CRUM. I AM 8 WEEKS POST OP AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. I ASKED QUITE A LOT AND THIS BOARD HELPED ME TREMENDOUSLY.
Hi Jessica:
I am a Dr. Floch alumni. Actually, Dr. Ehrlich at his office did my surgery. They are all fantastic!! You've made a great choice with them, they're all very caring and great people to work with.
If you need any questions answered, feel free to e mail me directly.
Good luck to you, all the best,
Bob

Welcome to the CT board, Jessica! And congrats on getting a surgery date!
My name is Eileen. I am 34 years old and live in West Hartford. I had my surgery last week and would love to help out with any questions that you might have. Please don't ever feel like you are pestering anyone. This group is so incredibly kind and supportive.
Hey Girlie girl!
Jess...you know how I feel about the Floch group.
Top notch.
You have chosen the right group as far as I am concerned.
I have received nothing but kind, professional and concerned medical care. All 3 docs on the team at FCB are not only excellent surgeons, but caring people.
I am so excited for you that you got your approval.
Now it is time to savor that victory over cigna.
Let yourself feel the burn baby!
Now is the time to begin preparing yourself for the next step in your journey to health.
Hope you are on the mend.
