Has anyone here had their lap band surgery done at Brigham and Women's or Faulkner Hospital in Boston? :sneaky:

I'm scheduled for surgery in three weeks with Dr. Lautz (yikes). I've been pretty satisfied with the process thus far.

I highly recommend going to a bunch of information sessions and hearing the different doctors speak. It will really help with your decision to choose a Dr. I really liked a couple, and others not so much...it's the perfect way see what you like and don't like in a surgeon.

Also - Check out the Massachusetts-specific forum - there is a huge thread dedicated to Brigham and Faulkner patients!

hey there, no I am sorry I am getting mine done at Lahey Clinic Hospital in Burlington, MA. It's closer to me. I am sure you will be fine at Brighams though, everyone knows its a great hospital!

Hi there. There is a thread already dedicated just for the Brigham and faulkner. I just met with Dr. Robinson this week for my first appt. If everything goes according to plan he is saying May/June for a band date.

Come over and meet the newbies, and the veterans all from Brigham. :rolleyes:

I had surgery at faulkner with Dr. Vernon. I love the single rooms. I also had surgery at brighams 3 months later. It went very well. They are both teaching hosipital so you get alot of traffic. I would highly recommend my surgeon as well as brighams/faulkner.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
