Yes it is very frustrating. I've been searching about this surgery (sleeve) for a year and change and decided to start process with a surgeon dr.gadaleta in manhasset ny two months ago. I'm puttin all my effort an I'm done with everything But it seems I could never get In Touch with my surgeon.. By the way if anyone knows of a good surgeon here in ny I might be willing to change surgeon and PCP as well. I'm willing to do the 6 month supervised weight loss but a year for a clearance letter is going to drive me crazy! ( by the way he really didn't give me a reason why, he just said it was his policy)
Ps. I'm 26 weight is 220 my highest has been 240, height 5'2. I have a two year old i want to live for, but with all this weight it seems I can't manage to do many things.
Thank u for responding!
