Massachusetts Sleeve Experiences



Recommended Posts

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 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! 😞
