Ok, on the lookout for Northeast MDs



Recommended Posts

I live about two hours from New York City, two hours from Philadelphia. I'm in Northeast PA.....

I'm looking for suggestions since my first experience has been less than impressive.

Thanks to all of you in advance.

Sharon,

I'm not sure how far you want to travel but my surgeon is in Syosset, NY which is on Long Island. He is wonderful and the whole staff supports you any way you need it. My best friend traveled from Wilmington DE to have the surgery done with him. He has done over 700 bands.

I used Dr. Peter Kwon in Port Jervis, NY - I am not sure where this is in relation to you in Pennsylvania, but it might not be too far. I know that he is near the PA border. He is a very reliable and cautious surgeon. He banded me on 3/23/05. His office staff is very professional and I also know two other people who used him for lap band surgery - all perfectly successful.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
