Mount Auburn Weight Managment



Recommended Posts

Hello Boston Sleevers!

My name is George and I'm enrolled in the Mt. Auburn Weight Management Program (Surgical) I have decided to have the sleeve done..I see a lot of people have had their sleeve done at MGH and Beth Israel..Has anybody here had theirs done at Mt Auburn? Or heard anything about Mt Auburns program (good or bad)? My surgery is tentative for October..I'm starting to think I should switch to MGH ;-)

I can't speak to the program at MGH, or Mount Auburn, but I can tell you that my experience with BIDMC has been superb!! Dr. Daniel Jones is an excellent surgeon, and is extremely personable, and the support staff (nutritionists, nurses, etc) are wonderfully helpful and supportive. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Best of luck to you!

I'm enrolled at Mt. Auburn too...but still pre-surgery, so I'm wondering the same thing. So far I haven't found anyone on the forums who's had surgery through them. It's so hard to know if you're picking the right place. I mean, it's not like buying a car where you get to take a 'test drive' first! But when thinking of the aftercare, support groups, and follow up appointments...Mt. Auburn would be more conveniently located for me, and it'd make me more likely to keep going back (as opposed to going into the city). Just a thought. Not much help from me, but in any case it looks like we're in the same boat :)

I cant speak to Mt. Auburn's program (although i do live about 10 min from there) as im going through the Lahey Clinic in Burlington. Their program is awesome but with my insurance i had to do a 6 month program so its been a long journey. I started back in January and i have a date of 9/5!! Good luck with everything :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
