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.

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

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

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.
