sillymegirl 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Hi all. I am new here. It has been fairly recently that I decided to take some action and stop wasting time by being wishy washy about wls. All that time all I did was get bigger and bigger and my weight, which has always been an issue in my life, has gotten to the point where it affects everything in my life. I am now in so much pain in my knees and legs, I feel tired and unable to do so many things, and I feel like I can't be the best mom I can be to my 5 year old. I want to live my life to the fullest. So I FINALLY called the bariatric dept of the medical center near me, filled out the questionnaire they sent me, went to a seminar, and met with the nutritionist. She gave me a food journal to keep for a week now and then another week before I meet with her in 6 weeks. In that time I have to make an appt for a psych eval and work on some nutrition goals. I'll probably be asking lots of questions and blabbing a lot more, but I just wanted to say hi. BTW, is there anyone else in the western Mass area here who has some input on Dr. Romanelli from Baystate Medical Center or the doc at Mercy medical center? (can't remember his name right now) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacMadame 81 Posted January 4, 2009 Welcome to LapBandTalk! I'm from CA so I can't answer your questions about the program in MASS but we do have a section for MA here and also a subforum called "Doctors & Hospitals" Those are good places to go in order to check out a program.
