Anyone from Massachusetts?



Recommended Posts

I was banded on Feb. 8, 2010 and was done at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston and was wondering if there is anyone else out there from Massachusetts who was recently banded, too? I am interested in some support for one another...let me know thanks.

Hi! I'm live about twenty minutes outside of Boston and I too was banded at the BI! I had Dr. Jones as my surgeon and so far my experience has been really positive. I was banded October 5 and have since lost about 80 pounds!!!!! =) How was your experience? Have you had a fill yet?

I moved from Cape Ann.... (ya know the other cape north of Boston) 17 yrs ago to SoCAL...) I just love Southern CA. I love all there is to do here, the weather , the landscape etc. I was back home a year and half ago and it was such culture shock for me! I think this July we are going back again to Boston and Montreal to visit My family and DH family.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
