Hey another Newbie from Massachusetts

Shamrockgirl60 · January 31, 2008

Well seems like most people from MA go to Beth Israel. I am going to Lahey Clinic. I haven't started my meetings yet. My PCP and I discussed this last week. He has agreed to the sugery if I qualify, I checked with my insurance and I do. So.....it's meetings, checking with my shrink she's cool and I see her next week anyway. I hope that the wait won't be too long. I am also having a sleep apnea study soon also. I have type II diabetes and wonder if anyone else has it. And how do you adjust the diet to it. If those Glucerna meals are good the liquid ones. I don't mind doing the liquid diet at all. Have any of you had problems with sagging skin. I have 100 pounds to loose.

Anyone here who have gone to Lahey Clinic please e-mail me or just post here. Thanks

Welcome Shamrock. I'm a newbie too. Just went to my initial information session. Go back again in a month. I have sleep apnea....was diagnosed a year ago. Really suprised to find out I had it, didn't think I did. It was actually severe. I just thought I was tired because of a busy life!!!! Welcome again...you'll find this website extremely resourceful and will meet people at all different stages in their journey to BANDLAND!!!!

Hi Shamrock girl. I'm in the program at Emerson. I am still at the dieting and evaluation point. I started the journey in December. hoping it won't be too much longer. Good luck to you.

Hi Shamrockgirl. I am in Mass too, only on the other side of the state. I've just started with all my appointments after waiting for a few months to get started. It's all coming at me quickly now and I'm very, very excited. Congratulations and good luck on this incredible journey.
