Dr. Sandor @ Winchester Hospital.:)

He and his staff are great. They have support meetings the last wednesday of every month from 7-9pm @ Winchester Homecare (in a boardroom) off Swanton St. First hour is dedicated to newbies, 2nd hour is support for people who specifically had lapband surgery.

If you do a search on Commonwealth Surgical Associates, Stoneham MA and all his info/directions will come up.

I use Dr Haag at Baystate in Springfield. He gives absolutlely painless fills and always hits the port the first time with no wiggling. I have been 100% satisfied with him and his staff.:)

I was banded at Mercy Medical by Dr. John Kasper. His office is great as well as the Comp. Weight Management program at Mercy.

Hope to hear from anyone who attended PVSA support meeting this past monday night. I am still pre-op just waiting any day for insurance approval. Curious to know how the post-op portion of the meeting was. We were given 'the boot' and sent home early so I was just wondering how things went.

I missed the meeting - I plan on going to the March one.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
