VPAPNYC 30 Posted October 6, 2013 Has anyone had a VSG with Dr. Roslin in the last few months? Can you tell me what to expect? Pre op exams? How many office visits? Experience at Lenox Hill? Around how much the total cost would be for self pay? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redwillow13 29 Posted October 17, 2013 I'm working with Dr. Yatco. It just so happened that I could not meet with Dr. Roslin on the day he was available so I saw Yatco. I liked his manner and thought he was very patient and thorough with the info given. I am still in the process of getting my medical stuff together. I did the nutrition class and one on one with Sharon, did the psych eval, I got the support letter from pcp, and I'm working with my pcp to do the six month weight history. Throughout this, I've found a lot of the staff at Lenox to be informative enough but not very warm. I have decided that I don't need warm. I need efficient and that they seem to be. I'd love to follow along with you on your journey as well since we're going to be doing it at the same hospital. I'm hoping I'm close to submitting everything and would sooo love to get the surgery before the year ends. We'll see how it all goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
