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??

Juju, how far are you into the process at BI? I have an appointment June 15th with the internist and some nurse.

Hello All,

Thank You For All The Input, Tomorrow Is My Appt With The Phyic, I Am Nerv. But I Know That This Is The Best Thing For My Body. I Will Let You Know How It Goes

hi nurse 4126-

I am scheduled for my first meeting this thursday(5-26) to meet with the md. I have attended the preop meetings held the first thursday of the month. I would like to get my banding done by July, which I think is feasable, since it takes on average 2 months for preop meetings. What MD did you go with? I chose Dr. Jones, but I hear they are both great!! Where do you work nurse 4126?
