Has anyone had their surgery at Cornell Presbyterian by Dr Dakin? If so how did it go?

[Lawrence Washington 124]

Im in Harlem too... about 3 weeks post op and I went through NYU Langone Dr. Schwack. Very attentive staff..... really walked me through the whole process that can feel like jumping through hoops before surgery... But its not even about where you do it.... If your ready... Then you will handle all that needs to be handled and you will do it... greatest decision ive ever made... I was one of the lucky ones to have no complications and really not even much pain.... but eithr way, I was with it... so just keep going and do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Send regards to Dr. Schwack for me please. I had my surgery @ NYU as well. He's a great guy and surgeon.

Look what the cat drug up! Hello Alex. You know, I've posted over 1400 times and have been around since Dec 2009 and I had NO idea who you were, don't remember ever seeing or hearing your name, until a day or so ago. Imagine my surprise when I saw your name this morning. New York, huh? How's the weather up there? It's been great here in Dallas. Have a nice day and congratulations on your weight loss. Good for you!! Have a nice weekend.

I'm out from hibernation and hopefully you'll be hearing from me a bit more often! We had some really gorgeous weather until today. It's raining at the moment. It's one of those days where you just want to stay in bed and pull the covers over your head. You've had some amazing weight loss success yourself. I'm always so inspired by the changes every one makes. Thanks a mill for your continuous participation in our community!

Girl I told you he was real

I must be an Alex stalker because I've seen his mug around here a lot!!

Or perhaps it's because I'm always getting caught up in "trouble" and he steps in to break it up??? o.o

Thanks Alex!!! As you can see, Laura knew exactly who you were, and there is no way she stirs up more trouble than me!!! I hope your weather is better today, ours is wonderful, but in a month, I may be whining a little! LoL You really have done good, how far out are you from surgery? I'll Celebrate 3 years in 3 days. Yay! I haven't run into a road block, so far so good on this maintenance part, I've been doing it for 2.5 years, we'll see. I do a revaluation about every three months, just because I am a bit obsessive! Have a nice weekend Alex....you too Laura!

I'm in the Hudson valley I'm about 1 week preop

[herc 9]

I had my done at the Hudson valley hospital center in Cartland manor June 12.

[Trodriguez623 34]

I'm in Orange County 6 days pre op nervous and hoping I can handle these shakes to be honest I'm pretty freaked out with a kit if posts I know while we share with each other kind of freak me out to some posts any advice ?

I was pretty freaked out too. I was so overwhelmed w the different diet phases, thought, " I'm I really going to be able to follow all of it?" Then I thought to just follow each phase regardless if I liked the choices that was listed. Though it seemed impossible, taking I one phase at a time, really help kept me focused & less stressed. I actually followed the directions word for word & had no complications. I was concerned that it took a few months to be able to drink the required amount of fluids & meet my daily Protein requirements, but doc told me not to worry or try to force anything. With patience & pep talks w husband, best friend & doctors office staff during post op appts, I got through it w no complications. No trips to hospital or anything. You will get through it just find. Just think about how healthier u will b, how good you will feel and look. Think about the end results. Very rewarding.
