Boston medical a one?

I'm scheduled for band revision to bypass on December 18th finally after months and months and months of test and test and test does anyone have any doctors from Boston Medical or would you recommend another hospital in any other area in math let me know thanks

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. 

Thanks for your input. I wish I went elsewhere only because it took so long even after two lap band surgeries and all the testing over 6months you wou think they work smoothly but they don't it's always you have another appointment when I had already completed them 

I didn't realize you were from MA, Cappy.

I didn't realize you were, either.  Where did you have your surgery?

Faulkner in Jamaica Plain. It's a satellite of the program ar Brigham.

I had my lapband at the Faulkner - it was a terrific hospital, but then my doctor left the program...revised to the sleeve at the Lawrence memorial in Medford - also excellent care!

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.

Fast is not always good.

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
