Looking for Dr. in Binghamton/Syracuse NY



Recommended Posts

I have been doing the research for several months and I am now looking for a (fairly) local Doctor. I live in Binghamton, NY and I am pretty sure there are no Lap-Band Doctors in Binghamton itself. I am looking to see if anyone has any experience or referrals for Doctors in Syracuse or Ithaca.

I have Empire Blue Cross as my insurance provider, so if you know any Doctors that accept that insurance it would be a big plus.

Thanks in advance,

- Hal

Hi Hlenoble,

My name is Dianne and I've had my surgery back in November by a Dr. Moon in Elmira. They are very nice people and I would recommend him. However, you said in Ithaca. There is a Dr. John Mecenas whom I would have chosen because I live in Newfield but because of my insurance I had to go to Elmira. I have a few friends who've gone to him and really like him. His number is 607-273-3161 if you'd like to give them a call. His address is 1301 Trumansburg Rd. Ithaca, NY 14850. I think that his office is at the hospital - Cayuga Medical Center.

I hope this helps you out. If you would like Dr. Moon's number and address just let me know. Good luck to you Hal.

Dianne

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
