I went to Dr. Ameri. His office is in Stoneham Ma and the surgery is done at Winchester Hospital. He is wonderful. He has an open forum meeting/support group on the 2nd Tuesday of each month from 7-9pm at the Jenks Center in Winchester Ma. It is definately worth going to. His next meeting is for pre-Op/and imediate Post-op and is on 2/12/08. He does both Bypass and Banding. You should check it out.

Emerson Hospital Concord MA has a great program. I had Dr. Jiser for my band and also have seen Dr. Chen in the hosp and for follow up. The overall program is excellent and includes the info session, nutritional, psychiatric and medical evaluation, monthly support groups, and follow ups with the dietician and others. I highly recommend their approach to the diet as well as the medical components of care.

My medical team was great. Drs. Adam and Arthur Glasgow in Norwood, MA. They do surgeries at Caritas Norwood Hospital. They are both caring, experienced surgeons. They're a Father and Son team. Their office staff is fabulous and they deal well with the insurance companies.

They have monthly support groups in their office too. They definitely are a great part of my success so far.

Check out their website glasgowandglasgow.com.

Take care.

My surgeon was Dr. Kastrinakis in Salem MA. The follow-up program is amazing! It includes a 12 week (1x's a week) exercise program at their facility. Part of the time is spent exercising and the other part is spent with the nutritionist.

I live in NH and I went to Brigham and Womens in Boston. Dr. Ashley Vernon did my surgery on Feb 16th and so far everything has been great. I have lost 20lbs already.

You can go online to their website and actually watch her performing a surgery if you want to.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
