No experience with Boston Medical but I love Dr. Julie Kim who works at both Tufts and Mount Auburn. She did my revision from band to bypass this summer and I feel wonderful. She's s fantastic surgeon and I love her whole team.
I was very pleased with my surgeon and team at Lahey, but I suspect Boston Medical is good, as well.
Good luck with your revision.

It's not clear from your post if insurance company requirements slowed you down, or the surgeon's office -- or even if it was slow.
There are lots of tests before any surgery. As time goes on, they add more. Mostly, this is for your safety. I actually delayed my surgery for a couple of months so I could really be prepared.

Thanks for your reply. They actually had me see the dietitian more than necessary by his words he didn't have to see me again. From their own errors in schedule they had me take a few too many tests. The dietitian also said he didn't want to charge the insurance the full amount for the visit because it was not needed. Then I tried to schedule my surgery and they kept telling me I had to complete my requirements but there were no more required appointments . I guess things happen for reasons I originally thought I would have been done by the end of September and now scheduled for dec 18th
