Any info on Dr. Brown and Southern New Hampshire Medical Center???
Not sure why my reply didn't work, but here it is again.
I called today to get an update and was told they have no new information on whether or not the program will even be starting at SNHMC. I was supposed to have my paperwork submitted in June and was told about 2 days later that they were moving. It's taken me 3 years to get this far, so I'm very frustrated that no one will give us information.
Denise - I was originally going to have my surgery at SNHMC and Dr. Drinkwater resigned on Tuesday before they were going to set a date on Thursday. Talk about frustration. Anyway, one of the surgeons he recommended was Dr. Michael Jiser who was at the time with Saints Memorial Medical Center in Lowell. I went there and they accepted all the progress I had accomplished with SNHMC and Dr. Jiser operated on me in March, 2006. The entire Weight Management Clinic associated with Dr. Jiser moved the first of August to Lowell General Hospital and have the most wonderful program imaginable. I love all the people at the clinic and Dr. Jiser is an excellent surgeon. There are 2 other surgeons involved with their program and I understand they are adding 2 more. Anyway, the phone number is 978-788-7200. Lowell is only about 15 minutes away and I do not think you would be disappointed with their program. I am doing great - going for my 6 month check up next week and I am down 92 pounds since surgery on 3-13-06. If you want any more information, please feel free to email and if you want my phone number I will be glad to give it to you. By the way - I live in Nashua also. Good luck. Barbara
