Dr. Adam Glasgow - Dr. Adam Glasgow is Great!



Recommended Posts

I was banded by Dr. Adam Glasgow. He is great! He's experienced, kind, gentle, and caring. His Partner, Dr. Arthur Glasgow, is great too. Together they have put together a great LapBand program. They genuinely care for their patients and their success with their LapBands. They provide a great support system for their band patients, both pre and post surgery. Their website is www.massweightloss.com. Check it out for more details. On a scale of 1 to 10, both of the Glasgows are 12's.

I love my band!

I just had my first visit with Dr. Adam Glasgow 4 days ago and I'm on my way. I've already got the first two of three appt's scheduled and things are moving along so fast. I was approved for RNY surgery 6 years ago but backed out, way too invasive for me. I'm finally ready to take the steps necessary to lose the weight once and for all and I've picked a great doctor. He's got an incredible bedside manner and I can't wait to embark on this journey.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Dr. Glaskow. I recently signed up for on of the lap-band seminars there at the office. My seminar groups date is January 7th. Your good words of Dr. Glaskow, have made me feel that much more confident in my decision to choose his practice. Thank you!

Both Adam and Arthur are wonderful, I'm almost 1 year post-op and have never had any problems with them. And the girls at the office are great too (Kathy's my favorite)

I was banded by arthur glasgow in august 2008 so now i am post op 19 months- I have seen both adam and arthur they are both wonderful i have lost 75 lbs and am more than half way to my goal - is a great feeling to regain control over your eating and weight . i would highly recommend the weight loss specialists to anyone interested in weight loss surgery - I love them even the office staff is very helpful. Most important is your maintenance visits. Keep going back till you feel "right" - full can be different for everyone so finding your right spot the most difficult part.

I am so excited to be going to the seminar next Thursday 3/25/10. I have read so many good things about this group and especially love that they are so caring and respectful, something you don't always experience in the "outside world" as a person of size. I feel that all my experiences, both successes and failures, have led me to this point. It is my turn to start to finally live the life I deserve! You all have been such an inspiration to me!

Thank you!

Katie

Katie"

Hi Katie,

I am going to their seminar on 4/5/2010 but I'm trying to get in for 3/25 if they get a cancellation. I called 3/9 but 4/5 was the earliest they could give me. I just want to get this whole process moving! I already went to 2 other seminars at different hospitals but I definitely want to go to this one before I choose. They have such a great website and seem to have more followup care than the others. I live in NH so it's going to take me 1 -1 1/2hrs to get there but I think it will be worth it. If I get in for 3/25 I hope we run into each other. It would be nice to start this with someone who is starting at the same time. Priscilla

Hi Pricilla,

It is so great to hear from another person who is in the exact same shoes as I am in....research and planning. I originally was going to look into UMass Worcester but I decided to go with a smaller practice. I have done a ton of research and I want a more personalized experience. This practice does ONLY gastric banding surgery and I have not read even 1 negative comment so far on this or the other websites I have been on. While I have read positive things on the UMass Worcester program an all the surgeons, there were quite a few people who said they felt like patients not people. This process is hard enough both physically and emotionally, I want to be nurtured on all levels. I am SO excited to be going to this meeting and getting the ball rolling and move forward on this journey.

:laugh: Katie

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
