@ hmjdreamingbig - congrats! by now you must be in recovery mode from your surgery I hope all went well. Thank you so much for your reply. I am thinking of going to Syracuse. I went to the seminar with Dr. Simon, and I have a seminar schedule with Dr. Graber, but must say I am getting cold feet. I guess I will check and see how I feel with Dr. Graber, cause what I did like about them in their center is I would get all appointments done that day, I get to see him after the seminar, then the nutritionist, and the psychologist, but like I said getting cold feet my weight is 205, and I kinda feel like I am just being lazy, although God knows I've tried to loose the weight and everytime I do I gain it back and then some! Wish you all the luck in the world and a speedy recovery!!!!

Thank you for your replies!!! Did you guys did homework when you chose your doctor, what made you go to Dr. Graber. So far I am impressed with the fact that Dr. Graber looks like has it all done together, meaning I will have the seminar, consult, psychs eva and nutritionist eva all in the same day, and their staff are really nice when I've called. I like the idea of private rooms, but at this point what kinda "bothers" me is the time it takes to get in to see him, and then I am guessing it will take even longer for the actual procedure to take place. I have the seminar, ect schedule for late February, and when I asked the girl told me it would take around 3 months to get the surgery, I am just afraid I will get cold feet I guess. Although at this point based on what I've read I might not be a candidate because I am only 80 pounds over weight, and it seems the only comorbidities that are important are diabetes and or hypertension.... I don't have neither 8 ( Good luck with yours Juliannsmommy!!!!

Wondering if you ladies could help me with an issue I am having. I have a referral to go see Dr. Simon, but I found my insurance also has Dr. Graber, anyone can shed some light as to how you chose your Dr? I will like to have a gastric bypass, oh and what about the hospitals do you know anything about them? I am new to the area, and newer to the whole experience and this going back and forth looking at healthgrades is making me chicken out, please help!!!!
