Did you ever find a surgeon who performs the sleeve in upstate NY? Who have the other upstaters gone with?

Anyone been able to travel to another part of NY but still be covered under insurance?

I went to Dr. Hamdi at Crystal Run Healthcare in Middletown, NY. The operation was done at Orange County Regional Medical Center, Arden Hill Campus in Goshen, NY. They have a great program that gets you ready for the procedure. I was sleeved on 11/29.

Had my surgery with Dr. Trivedi at St. Peter's Hospital in Albany, New York. It's been 4 1/2 weeks and I feel great - I'm down 49 lbs. since preop (33 lbs.since surgery). I would highly recommend St. Peter's and Dr. Trivedi -- it would be well worth the drive from anywhere.

Hello! I am from Saratoga. I had my sleeve done in Schenectady at Ellis! Dr Ingram did it! She is a great doc! She hasnt done a ton, but, she did an awesome job with me! I trust her completely. I had an issue and went to urgent care and that doc complimented my incision sites saying they look beatiful! LOL! I over did it and pulled open my large incision site a little bit and UC reapplied steri strips. There are 3 bariatric doctors at ellis, but, Dr Ingram was the most excited to do the sleeves and she is up to date on all the latest seminars and she talks to other Dr.s at Albany med that do the sleeve as well. Good luck with your journey! Any questions, feel free to give me a shout out!

There is Dr. Hill and Dr. Moon in Saranac Lake at Adirondack Medical Center. Its actually Dr. Hixon's office but Hill and Moon are the surgeons. I have been working with them and am just waiting for my insurance approval now. Has anyone else dealt with A.M.C.?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
