Hi,
I had mine in Nov05 at lahey, Dr Nepomnishay. Nice guy, great surgeon. I've heard so many people bash Lahey on this website and it's always hearsay, you know, my friend said this or that about the place. Sure it's huge and a pain to park, but it's alot easier than commuting to say mass general. Program is very strict and thorough so I think that's why people shy away. Go for the orientation and meet Pam and Leslie and decide for yourself. The operation went super smooth.
Lisa--I had my lap-RNY at Lahey in Burlington in May 03. My surgeon, Dr Shah, is no longer there. I can tell you that I was very happy with him, the program and the staff at the hospital. I do not know anything about the surgeons who are there now though. I really like the thoroughness of their program and follow-up care.
