I think most of the State boards are pretty quiet. It is unfortunate....they're a good resource for learning about local support groups and doctors. But I'm so thankful I found OH -- so much information and support!

I think more people would use the board if they knew it existed. It took me quite awhile to realize there was one seeing that when you look at the Forums Tab it lists other locations such as Mexico but not Massachusetts. If they had a USA one shown with a drop down for the states it might get more results.
Thanks Mary. I might join you at a support group at UMass some time after surgery! I live in Acton but I grew up in Lancaster, so I know Worcester pretty well. The support groups for my surgeon are okay, but not the best. But they are literally across the street from my office, so I can't complain :)
Wishing you the BEST for your surgery. I'm right behind you, so let's stay in touch and swap recovery stories :)
It's unfortunate that this Board is so quiet -- I seldom look here anymore myself. I had surgery in May 2014 at UMass in Worcester. They have a great program - I can't say enough about them. There's also a support group on the Third Thursday of every month at 6:00 at the hospital.
I wish both of you good luck -- feel free to PM me with any questions, etc. -- and post on the Main Boards - you'll get more responses.
Good luck!
Mary

Im in western mass and my surgery is july 17 2015. I am having a bypass love to talk after with someone who is going through it.
Hi guys, looks like this board is not used too often but I thought I'd reach out and see if anyone is on and looking got meet up. My surgery (revision from Band to Bypass) is happening July 20. When I'm recovering, I'd love to meet some other post-ops to talk, exercise, etc. let me know if you are out there?!?!
Does anyone know Fallon criteria for wls? They will not give answer to my dr.
Hello, all! I just posted on the exercise board (not realizing there was a site for Massachusetts) that I am looking for an exercise buddy. I do not belong to any gyms and can not afford to do so, however, would love to have someone or a group to walk with. I live in Quincy. Anyone interested, I am flexible on time of day/s.
