[T-T 6]

Me and my wife are scheduled for surgery August 19th .. Dr.graber is our surgeon and we see him in the Syracuse office

He is amazing! (My wife is T-T lol.) Surgery Aug 19th! Were having surgery on same day! He has received many awards, and performed many surgeries.. The staff at the office are as sweet as pie! I have attempted a few times through other local hospitals, and They were much more challenging with their "rules" than Dr. Graber's office! He has been on bridge street and also has his own commercial!

That is awesome! I am having surgery August 15th with Dr Graber in Syracuse. I am psyched!! I have been working with his office since January and they have been great. We will have to keep in touch as we go through this life changing adventure together Good luck to both of you!

you will be leaving st. joes hospital as we enter lol. sooo close! you will have to let us know how many days your in, and how the process went in the hospital! My first appointment was may 28th and my wife's first appointment was June 12. May I ask why it took you so long to get a surgery date? I literately got my surgery day 3 days after my first appointment, then when my wife had her appointment they added her to the same day as mine.. They say a lot of couples are very successful doing it the same day..

I will definitely let you know how things go. I have been wondering how long I will be in as well but I think everyone is different based on how they are recovering. They say 1-3 days. My insurance required me to have 6 months of supervised weigh ins so I had to wait at least 6 months. I called in January for my first appointment and they had me start the monthly visits at that time. I am going to be crazy busy the last two weeks of July with dietician appointments, psch appointments, pre op stuff, etc. My last supervised weigh in is August 2nd and then it goes to the insurance for approval. I will be in touch!

I did. Actually had my 3 month follow up at the office today. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about him, Dr Hill, and the whole staff. My husband and I are both having success and doing very well. They have been incredibly responsive To anything we need.

I actually Wish we had the 8:30 class, that way we wouldn't need a sitter lol

[liane 30]

Just give them a call. Explain your situation and that you know there is a morning class and is there anyway to change times. Explain if not, no big deal but you thought you would try. I have had to change times before and they are accommodating if there is room. That's all you can do is ask.
