Lenox Hill Hospital New York, Ny

[LT1002 138]

Dr Yatco did my band and the revision just a few days ago. I really like him - he's always taken the time to make sure that my questions were answered.

The office leaves much to be desired. I was there for a band fill once and they were having birthday cake for one of the employees. C'mon, really? CAKE?

And I hate Lenox Hill. I'm covered in bruises from the IVs and blood draws - even my eyelid had a bruise (tape during surgery maybe?). Press the call button for help and maybe someone will show up. My SO had surgery at Cornell (not bariatric) and it was such a different experience.

Anyone notice that the post-op diet sheet the nutritionist gave you in the hospital is much different than the post-op diet in the booklet they give you? And maybe it's just me, but I'm not a fan of Sharon the nutritionist - she seems so judgey.

Hello Everyone!

I am having surgery with Dr. Yatco on Sept 4th, yay! I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. I can't wait to start my new life! I really like Dr. Yatco, he seems very nice, genuine, patient and informative. Did anyone have the Switch? Dr. Yatco advised just the Sleeve for me.

He suggested the sleeve for me too I think that is just the surgery that is mostly done now. I'm going in on August 20

I have had nothing my wonderful experiences (if you can call a hospital stay wonderful) at Lenox Hill. I was in the cardiac wing. But my parents and sister were all well taken care of there, so I have no worries about this hospital.

I only saw Sharon once. The few times I called her, she did call me back. But she really pushes th Focus28 products and would not entertain the idea of another Protein product.

@lt1002 I so agree with you I wish I went to Cornell for my surgery Lenox hill left me pissed off and don't get me started on Sharon she really judges you and never returns phone calls all she does is just gives u copies of papers and just push you away I do not regret my surgery but I definately regretted Lenox hill.

I had my lapband with Dr.Shah in 2007 and just reverted to the gastric sleeve with

Dr. YatcoEdwad. Surgery went well considering I had other issues when they began to operate that had to be corrected first. Today is 4 weeks post op and about 20 pounds down. Scare for too much weight loss at one time, don't want to lose muscle mass.
