Hi there!!!

Anyone here from Massachusetts? I am just starting my journey. Went to the seminar last night and have my First Dr. appointment next Thursday. Does anyone have BCBSMA? How was your insurance? Time from seminar to surgery?

I'm in MA. I also have BCBS-MA. It was super simple, no issues. My first appoint was the end of April. My surgery was mid-August.

Where are you going?

Excellent. I am going to Dr. Glasgow from Norwood Hospital. I have contemplated this for years... Now that I decided... I am so impatient!

Lol. I know what you mean! :-)

I am from mass and I have that insurance company and it covered everything but the $150.00 copay. I am 2 1/2 years out and have lost 125 lbs! I did my surgery in Worcester.

I'm from Ma, the Vineyard actually I had my surgery in Jan of 2015 at the time I had HPHC. I've lost about 80lbs

Hi, I'm from MA. Dr Glasgow from Norwood Hospital did my surgery. I'm down 180 pounds. I'm feeling great. I had my initial consult in May of 2014 and surgery date was July 8,2014. I'm a year and a half out and I've had no issues.

I am from Massachusetts and, yes, :(MassHealth ...

...more than 60 years old...is Gastric Sleeve (VSG) do-able for my age?...

...looking for a good surgeon at UMASS, TUFTS...others?

...others that accept MassHealth/Medicaid/Network Health (now Tufts Health)...

Thanks a lot, in advance, and God bless!

I'm from MA originally but live in CA for the last 16 years. I am 61 and had VSG surgery in November. I'm down 80 lbs. so far, so yes, VSG is definitely in the cards for us over-60 folks.

I had a great experience at Lahey. They have a solid program. I know they accept MassHealth.

Good luck !!

I'm form mass and had the sleeve and I'm 3 weeks going on 4 weeks and had it done at Winchester Hospital by Dr. Darius Ameri and it was great

I had my VSG at Newton Wellesley from Dr Partridge. I had ZERO problems and lost 56 lbs since my10/6 surgery (86 pounds overall since the 8/10 orientation).

Before I started my journey, I called a friend who is a highly recognized plastic surgeon in Southern California and he said "get it done in Massachusetts, they have the best surgeons"...

Hello All. Any sleevers from Waterbury, Ct?

I'm from Wilbraham, Ma. Having mine on March 8th at Bay State Hospital with Dr. Romanelli. Kind of nervous as them big day approaches.

I am from Boston, just had my sleeve surgery on the 8th of February. Down 20lb and struggling with protein shakes that i loved so much before the surgery.

I've heard of people's tastes changing post op, especially in regard to whether they still like their Protein Shakes. That didn't happen to me. But there are soooo many kinds out there. It's very important to get your protein in. I'd suggest trying different ones until you find one(s) you like again.

You can order samples from Nashua Nutrition. And if I recall correctly, you can get singles at GNC and Vitamin Shoppe.

Great job on your progress!!
