Hi Rainbow.
Welcome to LBT. I am in Western Mass. too (Springfield) and I had my surgery with Dr. Fiallo at Baystate. How come you are going all the way to Boston? Good luck to you on your surgery. When are you having it?

Hi Rainbow -- had my surgery at BIDMC too, but Dr Schneider. The program is great! When are you having surgery?

I really don't have a surgery date yet. I guess I could get that May 26th that is when I meet Dr. Snow. I was told informal it could be in June. So far I am very very very happy with BIDMC. I head Dr Schneider explain the process at BIDMC.
I know 3 people who have had
the gastric bypass from Baystate and are doing great. I see Dr Higby at Baystate, well really at Mary Lane. Then my primary care and surgeon is at Wing Hosp. I guess you could say I am speading around the ins. $ LOL.

Hi,
Has anyone had LAP-BAND® at Mercy?? I am getting scared because I do not see ANYONE who has had surgery there, only one person who looked into it and got "spooked" I am scheduled for consultation with Dr. Kasper June 28th, should I run away????

Hi Rainbow,
I was banded by Dr. Jones as well. It's three weeks tomorrow and I am down about 17lbs. I have to admit, I'm hungry on liquids now but I see Doc on Wednesday and I'm hoping to go to mushies!
Good Luck!
Julie

i have gone thru cancer treatment and still have to see doctor every 3 months, and a form of treatment every 6 wks. so i am jumpy anyway.
just because i did not choose Mercy doesn't mean you should not. i was told you should find out how many times the sugeon has done the procedure (do not want to be one of the first 100)and you should not be the first. i am also going to BIDMC because my son's wife works there also so i'll have extra eyes on me.
I have to say i did not check out Baystate, but i am very happy with them for my cancer treatment.
