I am from MA too- I am exploring the options out there. I am leaning towards Tufts, only because the wait time at UMASS is so long. I live in Southbridge MA, so the drive to Boston is longer, but I don't want to wait another 8-9 months for the process to happen. Does anyone have any feedback on the Tufts program? I have been emailing a future bandster who is going through the process at Tufts, but she hasn't yet been banded. Will I be able to go home the same day? How long did you wait for the actual surgery? Was the surgeon knowledgeable of the procedure? Help!!! I have so many questions!!! :Bunny

What is Spotlight?

Hi! Has anyone out there on this board been banded in MA? I am considering having the surgery, but am unsure where to go. UMASS in Worcester has a long long process to go through (something like 7-9 months), but is close to home for me. Beth Israel Deconess in Boston has a shorter wait, but a longer hospitalization and is further away. Any input, anyone??

I sent you an email as I am thinking of having this done at UMass also.
