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.

Hello All

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

@@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.

      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.
