Can Someone Recommend A Good Doc Near Salem Nh

[healthyagain 0]

I already replied to your other thread. But I now notice you are in Salem. Stoneham/Winchester are right off Rt 93. (next to Woburn) If this is not convenient you may want to try the Lowell Area. There are 2 hospitals (Lowell General and Saints Memorial) that both have Bariatric surgery departments.

A new Doc??? PC or Weight Loss. Dr Leo LAne in Methuen for PC or the Portsmouth group for bariatric, Atlantic Surgical. All are great. I am 3 months out and down 40 lbs. :lol:I haven't been here since my surgery as it was so quiet. I will be back. Gotta get ready for work.:frown:

Hi,

Where in NH do you live. There are many great docs but it depends on where you live. I have the lapband and can tell you all you want to know.

Hi,

You are kinda far up, but the best docs I think are in Portsmouth. They have 3 docs in their practice. I went to several different meetings prior to making a decsion with other programs in NH before I chose to go to them. It is called Atlantic Surgical. Dr Pacuilli is great. She is very sensitive but straight forward. You would have to attend several different meetings. You would have to have a meeting with a physcologist who would make the decsion if you are ready for banding. You also need to meet with the bariatric co ordinator, and a nutrionist. You would have to lose 10% of the weight you need to lose and keep it off before the surgery. It is a BIG commitment.

Thank you very much! I know its a big commitment but i am ready and willing to do what it takes for this! being young and overweight is very hard these days its not as accepted even though its becoming bigger in society. The only problem with these doctors is I am only 17 and not many of them do the surgery on minors(I dont see why 17 is too much harm) but my birthday is in August. But I sure will tell my mom about this doctor and have her give her a call!

Hi and welcome. I am from Atkinson NH. When did you have your surgery?? I had mine in Oct. How have you done with your band?? I haven't had a fill yet. Hope to this month as everything has come to a stand still. I also notice I can swallow pills whole which I could not in the beginning. Well I am off to get ready for work. Hope to hear from you.

I'm from Wakefield, NH; I meet tomorrow with Dr. Gens (Atlantic Medical in Portsmouth). I have done my psych classes, nutritionist, physical therapy and also the support group meeting. Wondering after meeting with Dr. how far off my surgery might be??? I have also lost the 11 lbs that was needed. Getting anxious now to begin a new life!
