I know there are people out there from MA. Just wanted to start thread here to consolidate our discussions.

I'm from Sterling and getting sleeved at UMass in Worcester on Sept 4th.

Hi. I am from Randolph a little south of Boston. I have had the band for 2 years and love it. I feel all WLS help people and each person chooses what is best for them. Good luck! I had my surgery at the BI in Boston.

I'm from south of Boston, and looking forward to scheduling an RNY at BID around the end of August, if all goes well!

Good luck. I had my band at BI, Boston but now see my doctor at the Milton-BI. He goes to both. I used Dr. Schneider. Who is doing your surgery? I found the WLS center wonderful and all the staff is great and my stay overnight was good.

Hi Arlene!

I think I'll be using Dr. Schneider as well, for my RNY. I'm waiting for the team meeting now, and we'll see what happens after that. I hope it moves quickly. I'd like to be done and healed before the holidays.

Good luck Amazon. Let us know how it goes.

Ke-sa; how did yours go? Any issues post op? How's the liquid diet going?

[ke-sa 10]

Im still in recovery. No issues with the surgery I am having difficulties drinking so I am dehydrated and extremely constipated. I am working with my doctor to resolve my issues other than that it went well. So far I have lost over 25 pounds

Way to go Ke-sa!!! That's an awesome amount to loose in first month. Hope you feel better soon. Keep drinking.

Can I ask why you didn't go to UMass in Worcester?

Hello All

I had my sleeve surgery at UMass in Worcester on 12/23/13. Terrific Decision!

I am from W.Fitchburg and had RNY at Emerson on 4/8/2014 with Dr Lautz! down 77 lbs and no regrets

@@leapyear i work closer to the Emerson hospital in Concord which made it was easier to manage appointments. Also I had tried to get surgery at Umass from 2007-2012 and it never worked out, the number of appointments and cost made it extremely difficult. At the time my insurance would have made it impossible to afford.
