Deciding the Best Program/Hospital (Boston Area)



Recommended Posts

I am really looking for peoples input on how and why the decided to go with the hospital/program they chose. I have looked into many and am torn on which would work best. I have looked at MGH, Metrowest, and Lahey Burlington. I think I have decided that surgery is the best option for me and now begins the 12 millions questions...cost, recovery length, positive outcomes, risks, etc....so any help is appreciated

I finally decided on Lahey. It's closer to me. I definitely don't want to have to drive into town all the time either. I am a Lahey patient to begin with so it just made more sense. What a relief to have reached decision!

Who was your surgeon? How was your experience? What do you mean conservative?

I'm going to St. E's. I love Dr. Pecquex... There was a little issue with a lost fax that I have feeling got there, but didn't make it's way to my chart... Which was a little frustrating and held off scheduling a surgery date, but everything is back on track and I am waiting for insurance approval. I work at BCBSMA and know the medical policy backward and foward so I know I've got the requirements down... I just can't wait until it's all official!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
