Topic: MA Support Group
Hi All,
Anyone have any interest in starting a support group? I was reading about a group of people meeting up in the Baltimore area on the RNY board and thought it would be fun.

Topic: RE: Looking for a New Facility for VSG in MA
I am enrolled in the program at St. Elizabeth's in Brighton. I am having the sleeve done this fall. They have two amazing surgeons there. Dr. Pecquex is doing mine. She is amazing to talk to. Her bedside manner is unlike no other doctor I have ever met. She has explained everything and is so easy to talk to. The entire team there is amazing!

Are you serious? My family pays 179.00 a week for health insurance and we get nothing. My husband and I both work and we are hardly making ends meet! We were declined for a LITTLE help with our insurance!. You are on mass health and can get bypass surgurey? That is a joke! This state is in serious need of help for these so called underclass that need help...
Topic: RE: Any other Tufts NEMC patients?
I had Dr. Shah at Tufts. I really like her and felt very comfortable with her. The PA Danielle that works with her is also very helpful and returns calls very quickly. The pre-op is a blur to me as my head was spinning. But expect to do the Immersion Day, 2 visits with nutrition, 2 visits with the psychologists and your consult with the surgeon. At the Immersion day a nurse with also mee with everyone individually and go over your own insurance needs. I started the process in November and had surgery 1/30. The surgeons operate on Mondays and Tuesdays so if all goes well plan to be home by Thursday or Friday : ) Feel free to message me with any other questions. It is all very overwhelming but 100% worth it.
