Hello!

So I have new patient orientation at MGH tomorrow and I'm wondering what I should expect. I have filled out the 11 page questionnaire they sent me about my health, my weight issues, and my history. Other than that I have no idea what it'll be like.

According to the MGH website, they have a link to the presentation that you will be receiving: http://www.massgeneral.org/digestive/assets/pdf/weight-cente r-new-patient-orientation-presentation.pdf

It appears there is lots of great info on their website:

Hope this helps, and best of luck!!

Hey! I'm sure it's different for everybody depending on your doctor/insurance/etc, but I wrote about my experience at the time if that would be helpful to read. It's kinda long but I was trying to be thorough. :)

Good luck.

I have a basement but don't dwell in it full time.
