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!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
