Hey everyone!

My name is Crystal and I live in Brooklyn, NY. I started looking into lap band surgery a few months ago in 2011. I did research on insurances and found out that NYC Medicaid would cover the procedure. I applied and got approved in January and start looking for a surgeon. In January, I learned about Dr. Gorecki and made an appointment, but I needed a referral. I had to get a new PCP who initially gave me problems with giving me a referral, but I went back today and got one thank GOODNESS.

Just wanted to give a background story on me lol. Now im waiting for the middle of march to get here for my consultation and to get this show on the road. I'm excited!!

Has anyone here gotten their surgery through Dr Gorecki in NYC? How long from your initial consultation did you get a surgery date?

Thanks!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
