Best surgeon and clinic in Massachusetts



Recommended Posts

Hi all!

I'm in the process of choosing my facility for band to sleeve revision. Looking for some fellow Bostonians to guide me on where they got the best care & who their surgeon was. I originally had my band done at Beth Israel Medical Center- I was disappointed with the after care, and hoping I get some great suggestions!

Thanks a bunch!

I am new in the process. I was going to go to BI but the commute for after care was a deal breaker for me. I am using http://www.mysignaturephysician.com/physician_abeles.html I have done the group meeting,the 1t therapy apt and a 6 hour class. So far I am very impressed.SouthShore Brockton Area. A good friend had it done at Mass General and is very happy. I can;t recall her surgone's name

I went through the process at Lahey in Burlington. Amazing support staff and my surgeon founded the program there, Dr. Brams. I still attend the monthly support meetings.

I'm looking into MGH and they look like they have their stuff together. Very well organized and efficient. I live on the south shore and work in the city, so I'm sure follow care will not be a problem there. I just wasn't sure if there was one surgeon at MGh that was preferred over another!

I had mine at Tufts Medical Center but there is also a surgeon in Walpole, MA - Surgical Weight Loss Specialists I think, Dr. Adam Glassgow.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
