Not MA but so close to the border that my town isn't even physically attached to my own state! I'm in Tiverton RI, 1/2 mile from the MA border. :-)

I had my surgery at Toby Hospital in Wareham.

I'm in Plymouth. I was considering BID for my surgery, but they required me to go through 6 months of counseling, which I believe to be unnecessary in my case, so I'm thinking of Tobey. What has your experience with them been like?

I chose Wareham Surgical Associates because they are a center for excellence with over ten years experience. They made all my appointments in a timely manner and did their best to fit them in my work schedule. They coordinated everything - I basically just had to show up where and when they told me. The education and support I received was exceptional. I never felt confused, frustrated, or neglected. I was leery of Toby Hospital at first (it's so small) but my experience there was pleasant - I was surprised and pleased with the attentive care I received while there. I would happily recommend it to anyone. :-)

I have a friend who went through Roger Williams Medical Center for her surgery. She had to call and schedule all her own appointments, and she had little to no education or support. Her pre op journey took longer and was frustrating because she had to organize it all.

      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! 😞
