I went to Dr. Ameri. His office is in Stoneham Ma and the surgery is done at Winchester Hospital. He is wonderful. He has an open forum meeting/support group on the 2nd Tuesday of each month from 7-9pm at the Jenks Center in Winchester Ma. It is definately worth going to. His next meeting is for pre-Op/and imediate Post-op and is on 2/12/08. He does both Bypass and Banding. You should check it out.

Emerson Hospital Concord MA has a great program. I had Dr. Jiser for my band and also have seen Dr. Chen in the hosp and for follow up. The overall program is excellent and includes the info session, nutritional, psychiatric and medical evaluation, monthly support groups, and follow ups with the dietician and others. I highly recommend their approach to the diet as well as the medical components of care.

My medical team was great. Drs. Adam and Arthur Glasgow in Norwood, MA. They do surgeries at Caritas Norwood Hospital. They are both caring, experienced surgeons. They're a Father and Son team. Their office staff is fabulous and they deal well with the insurance companies.

They have monthly support groups in their office too. They definitely are a great part of my success so far.

Check out their website glasgowandglasgow.com.

Take care.

My surgeon was Dr. Kastrinakis in Salem MA. The follow-up program is amazing! It includes a 12 week (1x's a week) exercise program at their facility. Part of the time is spent exercising and the other part is spent with the nutritionist.

I live in NH and I went to Brigham and Womens in Boston. Dr. Ashley Vernon did my surgery on Feb 16th and so far everything has been great. I have lost 20lbs already.

You can go online to their website and actually watch her performing a surgery if you want to.

        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!

      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
