Massachusetts Sleeve Experiences

Hi All,
I am currently in the process to get the sleeve through Brigham & Woman’s Hospital/South Shore Hospital here in Massachusetts.

In addition to experience with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mass.

Looking for anyone who either went through this program or another one in Mass? Thanks!

I just had my sleeve done through Newton Wellesley Hospital. They have a fantastic program and a team that really cares about their patients. I have BCBS of MA and it was a breeze getting approval.

That’s great! My surgeon was Dr. Chahal. How about you? Have you been to any of the meetings or had your initial consultation?

You could not have picked a better team; everyone in the office works together to give the best experience possible. If you have questions I’m more than happy to share my experiences - I know it can seem like a daunting process!

Dr. Wishnia! She’s a doll. I went to the new patient meeting and am attending the young adult meeting on march 22. I just had my initial consult last week so it’s all getting to be real!


I was sleeved on 2/12 through Brigham and Women's. I had Dr.Shikora. They have been fantastic! The nutrition classes they have you go to are very helpful and you can contact them at any time for questions.
