Hello, I have just started doing the research of this lapband procedure and I can't tell you how excited I am about it! I didn't even know that this existed! I am going on the 28th to a seminar to hear all about it. I have scheduled an apt. with my doctor to talk to her about it. Would any of you know of a good Doctor in the Boston area? I would appreciate any recomondations. I looked at the before and after pictures and ended up in tears....you all look so great.....and happy! Thanks, Nicole :help:

Hi Nicole,

First off, welcome, and congrats on making the first steps towards a huge change. I am also in Boston, and had the procedure in April by Dr. Hess. When I first met with him, he had only been doing the procedure for about a year or so, but I had heard really good things about him, and as BMC is where my primary doc is, that's where I decided to go. The team there is great, and I've had a GREAT experience with Dr. Hess and his team. Good luck with your journey, and don't hesitate to ask any quesions at all.

Best,

C

I go to Dr. Ashley Vernon at Brigham and Womens. She is really nice and her support staff is fantastic. To get more reviews of doctors try obesityhelp.com they have a section that reviews hospitals and surgons. It really helped me to make my decision. Goodluck!

Thank you very much to you all for getting back to me! I am still so new at this, I didn't even know how to check what replies I got. Brigims and Womans is right down the street from my hubbys parents house so that would be really nice to have it done their. I saw all your pics and you all look great! Thanks again, Nicole
