  • ResourcesRESOURCES
Thank you for your interest in the Steward Centers for Weight Control. We provide a multidisciplinary approach to assist you with your weight loss goals. To better serve you, please follow the guidelines below.

We see patients at the following locations:

  • St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center: Brighton, Massachusetts
  • Good Samaritan Medical Center: Brockton, Massachusetts
  • Holy Family Hospital: Metheun, Massachusetts
  • Hawthorn Medical Associates: Dartmouth, Massachusetts
  • Saint Anne's Hospital: Fall River, Massachusetts

Preparing for Your Appointment

  1. Calculate my Body Mass Index (BMI). Obesity is defined by Body Mass Index (BMI).

    BMI is a measurement of body fat based off height and weight (kg) and is useful to determine overweight and obesity.

    Being overweight and obese leads to a number of different chronic health conditions. Obesity related conditions include hypertension (high blood pressure), type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), arthritis, back pain, acid reflux, heart disease, stroke, increased risk for certain cancers and infertility.

    BMI Ranges:

    • Underweight = 18.5 or less
    • Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
    • Overweight = 25-29.9
    • Moderate Obesity = 30-34.9
    • Severe Obesity = 35 to 35.9
    • Morbid Obesity = 40 or greater

     

    Through both surgical and medical weight loss options, Steward Centers for Weight Control can help you lose weight, better manage these obesity related conditions and live a healthier life. 

  2. Obtain a Referral

    We are considered a specialty practice, and depending on your current insurance, a referral may be needed before the first visit – please call ahead to make sure your referral was received.

    You can obtain a referral from your primary care physician (PCP). Please request 12 visits from your PCP.

    • Surgeon’s name: Nicole Pecquex, NPI# 1467447300
    • Surgeon’s name: Anthony McCluney, NPI# 1225107345
    • Nurse Practitioner: Megan Goulard, NPI# 1215342662

     

  3. Fax your referral

    Please fax your referral and any tests done in the last year at another hospital or medical office such as stress test, echocardiogram, sleep study, endoscopy, CT scan, barium swallow, etc., to the appropriate hospital where your new patient appointment is scheduled.

  4. Call Insurance Company

    Insurance coverage varies widely. Before you come in for your first appointment, call your insurance company to make sure bariatric surgery is a covered service. Confirm coverage and limitation for nutrition and psychiatry visits, requirements for referrals, co-pays and/or deductibles and that St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center in Brighton, Massachusetts, is in your insurance network.

  5. Self-Pay Patients

    If your insurance does not cover bariatric surgery and you are interested in becoming a self pay patient, please contact our practice manager at 617-562-7010. She can review current self pay rates and payment options.

  6. Check Your Co-payment

    If you have a co-pay, this is expected at the time of your appointment. There will be a separate co-pay for the surgeon and the dietitian. Cash, check and credit cards accepted (Visa, Mastercard, and Discover).

  7. Watch our Online Webinar

    We encourage you to watch our online webinar as it is designed to help you better understand which bariatric surgery option is right for you. It is not required. It takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. Please answer all the questions. If you are having trouble viewing this seminar, make sure your pop-up blocker is turned off.
