Donna,

If you don't mind me asking, what group of doctors do lap band surgery at Community General Hospital?

Thanks

Diana

Hi,

I was just banded in Cooperstown - I live in Sauquoit (outside of Utica). I'm interested in knowing who does it in syracuse just for my own information.

Cooperstown - Bassett Hospital's program is very long. I've been in it since July 07 and was just banded 2/5/08. But I'm doing well - that's the important thing:thumbup:

Hi Diana

Dr.Desimone does it out of Community Hospital.He's just now starting the Lap Bands this month.He's done many RNY surgeries,so personally i'm not really worried.I will probably be one of his top 10 but at least not his first.I hoped that helped with your question.Have a good day.
