Lahey Clinic
Hi, I had my surgery done at Lahey in Burlington. The first thing is the seminar in the autotorium for about 1 1/2 hours. They give you a booklet to take home to read then you make an appt, for a consultation, which is most of the day. You see the surgical team, a psycologist and a nutritionist. I just love Pam O'Brien. She is one of the nurse pratitioners of the surgical team.
Good luck on you journey if you choose to have surgery. I had lapband back in 2006.

You also have to take insurance requirements, and your health status into consideration as well. Average is 2-6 months, insurance pre-requ, if any, aside. My mom's took almost 6 months, and I'm running under 2 when I get to the o.r. on Monday. We did not have any requirments to meet for insurance. Talk to the clinic, other patients ,and also, your insurance carrier, and you'll get a better idea. Good luck.
