Just moved to Newton, MA



Recommended Posts

Hi!

I just moved to Newton, MA from Connecticut. I was banded 8/13/08 and then rebanded 4/29/09 due to a leak. I am missing my local support group and would love to meet other banded people in the area. I would also really love to find a support group in the area since I feel this really helps me stay on track.

Welcome to Mass! I am just starting my journey and haven't been to a group yet but there is a LAP-BAND® support group about 22 minutes from you in Burlington, MA at the Lahey Clinic (that is where I will be getting my surgery).

I have attached the link to the website: Select a Medical Service | Surgical Weight Loss Center | Further Information

They meet the Last Tuesday of each month from 6-7:30. The only downside is you have to pay for parking- but the hospital is really nice. It is also kind of big and can be a little overwhelming at first- but once you get where you're going it's fine!

Hope this help :(

Thanks so much for the information. I look forward to going to a support meeting again. I hope things go well for you and your journey. Things have gone fairly well for me although things have been a bit more of a struggle lately, which is why I think a local support group is a good idea.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
