Lap Band at Tufts Medical Center?

Hi, I am new to the group.  I was wondering if anyone has gone through the lap band procedure at Tufts medical.  I recently have had appointments with them and they seem to really not care for the lap band.  I am trying to determine if this procedure is right for me, and I would love to hear what your expereinces were like.  Thanks : ) 

Having had surgery at Tufts I can say that they know their stuff!!  I wanted the band and given my eating issues and BMI my surgeon guided me to the bypass.  I don't regret it as I've lost 110 lbs and have spoken to other band patients who have difficulty losing a lot of weight.  I honestly left the decision in their hands knowing that it's their speciality.  Maybe you should talk to the surgeon (again) about your concerns.  The team is great.

I revised from LapBand to Gastric Bypass back in January with the Tufts group (Dr. Shah).  You're absoultely right in recognizing that they don't care for the lap band but of course they will do the procedure if you choose.  They are ALL top notch in my opinion!!

It's your body- your decision but DO YOUR RESEARCH!! 

They don't seem to care because this is the worst and LEAST successful of the four weight loss surgeries available. 
I am a revision from a lapband to a gastric bypass.  I can only tell you that I lived a nightmare of two years enduring vomiting, sliming, stuck food, etc with my band.  The band ended up giving me acid reflux.  By the way I couldn't eat any meat with the band, vegetables, salad, etc.  I lost 35 lbs. initially then regained all that and lived on pudding, cottage cheese, ice cream, milkshakes, etc. 
I suggest you go to the Failed Lapband Message Board on here and do more research before you make a final decision.

 Thank you everyone for your responses.  I met with my surgeon today, Dr. Kim, and she explained all three procedures that she performs.  I never thought of the gastric sleeve as an option because my insurance doesn't cover it, but it sounds like it maybe a better option than the lap band.
