Syaniya 319 Posted October 25, 2016 I'm starting to go through at St. Elizabeth's now, tried reaching out on here but there doesn't seem to be many people from the Boston area who replied to me either, hope you have better luck with answers Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mandat89 28 Posted October 25, 2016 Hopefully. My friend did it at Beth isreal and she said they're awesome. That's the main reason why I'm going that. I would like to hear about other people's experiences too. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Syaniya 319 Posted November 11, 2016 I am just starting my process at St. Elizabeths also with Dr. Mccluney, it'd be nice to have someone who's going through it also so close to communicate with. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vegbeth 79 Posted November 11, 2016 My insurance is neighborhood health plan. I started the process as a self payer (yikes) and got recommendations from the practice as to what health insurance to pick. I just moved back to the Boston area in august but started the process when I was here visiting. As far as I know there was not a 6 month waiting period but I do know there was a requirement to loose some weight.
