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.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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
