Surgical Weight Loss Specialists is one of the premier Lap-Band® surgery practices in Massachusetts. We have extensive experience in gastric band surgery, having performed over 1000 lap-band operations over the last five years. Surgical Weight Loss Specialists is the only weight loss surgery practice in Massachusetts that uses the Lap-Band® exclusively. Our program is an American College of Surgeons (ACS) accredited Level 1 Adult Bariatric Center. We also provide x-ray on-site in our office so there is never a wait or expense to have follow-up studies.
A Commitment to Follow-up
Dedicated follow-up care results in substantial and sustained weight loss. We are committed to partnering with our patients and their families for the long run to make sure they achieve and maintain their personal goals. We strongly believe that each patient must be heard and treated as an individual. After surgery, we see our patients for follow-up every other week for the first ten weeks, then monthly for the first year, and of course any time they need to be seen. We encourage patients to attend our free support groups and participate in our patient-run weekly on-line chat sessions.
Our Surgeon
Our bariatric surgeon Dr. Adam Glasgow began his career as a general surgeon and now has devoted his practice exclusively to laparoscopic gastric banding. Adam is dedicated to making sure all of our patients are well informed, well cared for and happy. He is always accessible for questions, can be reached by phone or email, and attends our patient support groups.
Our Experienced Multi-Disciplinary Team
Our multi-disciplinary team also includes a psychologist, nutritionists and a clinical staff of nurses and physician assistants. This comprehensive approach to our patients’ care begins before surgery and continues well after. Our office staff likewise is dedicated to serving our patients and making their entire experience - from coordinating appointments to working with insurers - as easy as possible.
What Makes Us Different
At Surgical Weight Loss Specialists, we consider our patients part of our extended family. We are here to help our patients meet their personal goals and offer support throughout their weight loss journeys. We are happy to include patients’ family, friends and significant others in that process. Unlike many programs, we do not charge a program free, yet we still offer a host of activities for our patients, ranging from our nutritionist’s fabulous seminars (including supermarket shopping tours, cooking demonstrations and menu reading classes) to our sponsored “Band on the Run” 5K group runs and walks (with advance training sessions) to our patient mentor program. We strive to make our patients’ experience much more than just a visit to the doctor.
