I had my surgery last Monday, November 11th at Lenox Hill Hospital in NYC. Dr. Edward Yatco was my surgeon. I was hospitalized until November 13th and have been home recovering. Needed some painkillers for the first 2 days, but other than residual gas from the carbon dioxide during surgery, I can't say I have any discomfort. I have a frig and cupboard full of Protein shakes, Jello, Consomme, cases of Water ... I can feel the fullness after a few sips, or a half-teaspoon of broth, or Jello, but except for some occasional hunger, I am feeling remarkably good and plan to return to my desk at work for a few hours tomorrow. My first post-op exam is If you had surgery last week and would like to share your experience and the journey - here's the place.

Thank you. I feel very confident in Dr. Yatco and the entire team. My surgery is set for November 11th!!

Has anyone been operated on by Dr. Joseph Yatco at NYC's Lenox Hill Hospital?

I am scheduled for November 11th at Lenox Hill Hospital in NYC. Nervous and in need of some pre-op wisdom and guidance.

I just signed up for this group. I am scheduled for my sleeve surgery on 11/11 at NYC's Lenox Hill Hospital. I'm looking for any advice on the next 3-1/2 weeks - how to prepare, what I should be reading, how I should get myself ready emotionally and physically.
