Anyone had lap band surgery with dr benedetto in salem, ma

Hi My name is Janine and I am scheduled for surgery on 1/15/10 and was wondering if you had a good experience with Dr benedetto? How much weight have you lost? Does he have specific amount of time you have to see him like every two weeks. After you have restriction do you still have to see him? if so how often? My insurance is changing and wondering due to more cost for appts.

Thank you in advance
