Does anyone have a really good lap band doctor in nh or ma

I went to Dr. Ameri. His office is in Stoneham Ma and the surgery is done at Winchester Hospital. He is wonderful. He has an open forum meeting/support group on the 2nd Tuesday of each month from 7-9pm at the Jenks Center in Winchester Ma. It is definately worth going to. His next meeting is for pre-Op/and imediate Post-op and is on 2/12/08. He does both Bypass and Banding. You should check it out.

Can anyone tell me their experiences with belite weight and Dr. Jose Rodriguez? He Is doing my surgery and I would like some info.

I had Dr. Sandor - He uses Winchester Hospital. He and his assistant Kathy are wonderful.

He has an orientation meeting TONITE - Wednesday, Jan 26, @ 6pm

Check out his site:

Commonwealth Surgical Associates

His phone number is listed on there, along with directions on how to get to the meeting.

Emerson Hospital Concord MA has a great program. I had Dr. Jiser for my band and also have seen Dr. Chen in the hosp and for follow up. The overall program is excellent and includes the info session, nutritional, psychiatric and medical evaluation, monthly support groups, and follow ups with the dietician and others. I highly recommend their approach to the diet as well as the medical components of care.

My medical team was great. Drs. Adam and Arthur Glasgow in Norwood, MA. They do surgeries at Caritas Norwood Hospital. They are both caring, experienced surgeons. They're a Father and Son team. Their office staff is fabulous and they deal well with the insurance companies.

They have monthly support groups in their office too. They definitely are a great part of my success so far.

Check out their website glasgowandglasgow.com.

Take care.

My surgeon was Dr. Kastrinakis in Salem MA. The follow-up program is amazing! It includes a 12 week (1x's a week) exercise program at their facility. Part of the time is spent exercising and the other part is spent with the nutritionist.

I live in NH and I went to Brigham and Womens in Boston. Dr. Ashley Vernon did my surgery on Feb 16th and so far everything has been great. I have lost 20lbs already.

You can go online to their website and actually watch her performing a surgery if you want to.

I had Dr. Fiallo in Springfield, MA
