    Welcome to the best site evea! I am Boston, so yes we talk like that. No 'r' in our alphabet. I went to the BI, Boston but use Milton Hospital. I don't know any doctor's in Worcester's area. I started by going to their information meeting which is monthly and then I go to their monthly support groups. People go to the support meetings before and after surgery.

    Does UMASS medical have a weight loss center?

    Good luck with your new journey. Best thing I did last July.
