Mount Auburn Weight Managment



Recommended Posts

Hello Boston Sleevers!

My name is George and I'm enrolled in the Mt. Auburn Weight Management Program (Surgical) I have decided to have the sleeve done..I see a lot of people have had their sleeve done at MGH and Beth Israel..Has anybody here had theirs done at Mt Auburn? Or heard anything about Mt Auburns program (good or bad)? My surgery is tentative for October..I'm starting to think I should switch to MGH ;-)

I can't speak to the program at MGH, or Mount Auburn, but I can tell you that my experience with BIDMC has been superb!! Dr. Daniel Jones is an excellent surgeon, and is extremely personable, and the support staff (nutritionists, nurses, etc) are wonderfully helpful and supportive. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Best of luck to you!

I'm enrolled at Mt. Auburn too...but still pre-surgery, so I'm wondering the same thing. So far I haven't found anyone on the forums who's had surgery through them. It's so hard to know if you're picking the right place. I mean, it's not like buying a car where you get to take a 'test drive' first! But when thinking of the aftercare, support groups, and follow up appointments...Mt. Auburn would be more conveniently located for me, and it'd make me more likely to keep going back (as opposed to going into the city). Just a thought. Not much help from me, but in any case it looks like we're in the same boat :)

I cant speak to Mt. Auburn's program (although i do live about 10 min from there) as im going through the Lahey Clinic in Burlington. Their program is awesome but with my insurance i had to do a 6 month program so its been a long journey. I started back in January and i have a date of 9/5!! Good luck with everything :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
