Im having mine done in St Lukes as well, with Dr. Mcginty ( god willing I'll be approved ) this is my last month my second visit June 4th hopefully I'll get a surgery date then. I'm so nervous excited it's like mixed emotions all in one. I'm 5'1 and I'm at 253lbs. I have high triglycerides, pre diabetic, and elevated thyroid.. Super nervous.. What health insurance did you have them ? I have Health First NY
