CJG216 3 Posted March 11, 2018 Hi All,I am currently in the process to get the sleeve through Brigham & Woman’s Hospital/South Shore Hospital here in Massachusetts. In addition to experience with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mass. Looking for anyone who either went through this program or another one in Mass? Thanks!

kjillb 3 Posted March 12, 2018 i just began the process at newton wellesley and i’m pleased with the team so far! who was your surgeon? That’s great! My surgeon was Dr. Chahal. How about you? Have you been to any of the meetings or had your initial consultation? You could not have picked a better team; everyone in the office works together to give the best experience possible. If you have questions I’m more than happy to share my experiences - I know it can seem like a daunting process! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went to the new patient meeting and am attending the young adult meeting on march 22. I just had my initial consult last week so it’s all getting to be real!

bamby021 27 Posted March 12, 2018 I was sleeved on 2/12 through Brigham and Women's. I had Dr.Shikora. They have been fantastic! The nutrition classes they have you go to are very helpful and you can contact them at any time for questions.
