healthyagain 0 Posted January 29, 2008 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.

goldthimble 0 Posted February 6, 2008 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. Goldthimble Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goldthimble 0 Posted February 6, 2008 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. goldthimble Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wendys81963 0 Posted February 24, 2008 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???
