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

"I am so excited to be going to the seminar next Thursday 3/25/2010...

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

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
