Any Central NY / Utica Sleevers out there?

I've just started the whole process with Dr. Graber's office. Would love to talk to other locals :-)

I had the surgery done September 24th with Dr. Cooper at Crouse. I loved my experience and I am down 52 pounds already.

Congratulations!!!! I thought of going to Syracuse, but I hate to have the 1 hour commute back and forth. Did you have any problems post-op? Was it hard to get your insurance to cover the procedure?

I did great post op no problems... I swear I have the sleeve of steel nothing really disagrees with me but I followed dr orders to a t cause I was scared of making myself sick. I had my surgery on Monday and was back to work the following Monday. Even went apple picking the weekend after my surgery. I didn't have any problems with insurance as I had comorbidities. But I started at 241 and am down to 189. Still hoping for another 50 but I am feeling great, only regret is not doing it sooner. Good luck on your journey and stay positive

I'm from Clinton (near Utica) and was sleeved in Cooperstown because I heard that their program was excellent. Very true!
