Dr. Adam Glasgow - Dr. Adam Glasgow is Great!



Recommended Posts

I was banded by Dr. Adam Glasgow. He is great! He's experienced, kind, gentle, and caring. His Partner, Dr. Arthur Glasgow, is great too. Together they have put together a great LapBand program. They genuinely care for their patients and their success with their LapBands. They provide a great support system for their band patients, both pre and post surgery. Their website is www.massweightloss.com. Check it out for more details. On a scale of 1 to 10, both of the Glasgows are 12's.

I love my band!

I just had my first visit with Dr. Adam Glasgow 4 days ago and I'm on my way. I've already got the first two of three appt's scheduled and things are moving along so fast. I was approved for RNY surgery 6 years ago but backed out, way too invasive for me. I'm finally ready to take the steps necessary to lose the weight once and for all and I've picked a great doctor. He's got an incredible bedside manner and I can't wait to embark on this journey.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Dr. Glaskow. I recently signed up for on of the lap-band seminars there at the office. My seminar groups date is January 7th. Your good words of Dr. Glaskow, have made me feel that much more confident in my decision to choose his practice. Thank you!

Both Adam and Arthur are wonderful, I'm almost 1 year post-op and have never had any problems with them. And the girls at the office are great too (Kathy's my favorite)

I was banded by arthur glasgow in august 2008 so now i am post op 19 months- I have seen both adam and arthur they are both wonderful i have lost 75 lbs and am more than half way to my goal - is a great feeling to regain control over your eating and weight . i would highly recommend the weight loss specialists to anyone interested in weight loss surgery - I love them even the office staff is very helpful. Most important is your maintenance visits. Keep going back till you feel "right" - full can be different for everyone so finding your right spot the most difficult part.

I am so excited to be going to the seminar next Thursday 3/25/10. I have read so many good things about this group and especially love that they are so caring and respectful, something you don't always experience in the "outside world" as a person of size. I feel that all my experiences, both successes and failures, have led me to this point. It is my turn to start to finally live the life I deserve! You all have been such an inspiration to me!

Thank you!

Katie

Hi Katie,

I am going to their seminar on 4/5/2010 but I'm trying to get in for 3/25 if they get a cancellation. I called 3/9 but 4/5 was the earliest they could give me. I just want to get this whole process moving! I already went to 2 other seminars at different hospitals but I definitely want to go to this one before I choose. They have such a great website and seem to have more followup care than the others. I live in NH so it's going to take me 1 -1 1/2hrs to get there but I think it will be worth it. If I get in for 3/25 I hope we run into each other. It would be nice to start this with someone who is starting at the same time. Priscilla

Hi Pricilla,

It is so great to hear from another person who is in the exact same shoes as I am in....research and planning. I originally was going to look into UMass Worcester but I decided to go with a smaller practice. I have done a ton of research and I want a more personalized experience. This practice does ONLY gastric banding surgery and I have not read even 1 negative comment so far on this or the other websites I have been on. While I have read positive things on the UMass Worcester program an all the surgeons, there were quite a few people who said they felt like patients not people. This process is hard enough both physically and emotionally, I want to be nurtured on all levels. I am SO excited to be going to this meeting and getting the ball rolling and move forward on this journey.

:laugh: Katie

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
