Mount Auburn Weight Managment

[Boston George 84]

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 had mine at MGH.. if you have a date I would keep it... It took me 6 mon just to get an appointment....

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
