Sue Magoo 71 Posted May 23, 2009 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! Sue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PATTYLYNN 0 Posted August 1, 2009 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.

tigerlilyhair 0 Posted March 14, 2010 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.

khath0620 20 Posted March 20, 2010 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wash 0 Posted March 22, 2010 "I am so excited to be going to the seminar next Thursday 3/25/2010... 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khath0620 20 Posted March 22, 2010 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
