Hi! Choosing a surgeon is a very personal decision and you have to do alot of research and find the doctor that is best for you. With that said, you should look into Dr. George Fielding of NYU. That is if you are anywhere near NYC, I am not sure where you are located exactly. Anyways, He is my surgeon and I chose him partly because he is exteremly experianced, super friendly and is also a bandster and has been for over eight years. I loved the idea that he is not only the doctor but also a patient and can share his prespective from both ends. He has offices for fills in White Plains, Brooklyn and New City. Google his name along with NYU and the website should come up. Good Luck to you! P.S. If you have insurance coverage for this procedure you should contact them first. They can give you the full list of surgeons in your area that work with your insurance. GOOD LUCK!!!

Rochester isn't very close to NYC. If you're willing to make the trek in I'd definitely agree that Dr. Fielding and Dr. Ren are docs you should look into. I personally used Dr. Christine Ren and I think it was THE best decision I've made in my entire life. She's tops in her field, is very personable, has great bed side manners, is pleasent to communicate with etc etc. I could go on and on with praise for her. If you're not interested in coming into NYC try searching for the word Rochester. I'm sure you'll find a few docs mentions here.

      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.
