I looked into it and decided to give them a pass. Go to their free intro session (once a month) and you hear all about their program. If you are looking for a lot of support (a LOT of support) they have a good program.

I found that they insisted on a lot of rules and procedures- at least 18 meetings before surgery of all different types- including several sessions of small group therapy and 2 visits with a psychiatrist- as well as you had to lose weight first (so they could judge your 'committment') and you had to quit smoking if you did. (I don't, but it still pissed me off- it really would be easier for people to quit AFTER when they feel better).

I have heard the Brigham & Women's program is a lot more normal/ less demanding, and equally reputable.
