Hi, I live in Sayville. I was banded by Dr. Ren at NYU in Manhattan, March 2008. Let me know if I can help in any way. The whole process is so much easier with support.

I am in Riverhead. If I decide to go through with this I will probably use Dr. P. Meta in Riverhead/Patchogue. It seems like follow up is very important to success so I want someone close.

Hi!

I'm in Suffolk too and I used Dr. Geiss in Syosset. I'm very pleased with my results (was banded July 2, 2008) and his staff is wonderful as well. I highly recommend him. Good luck in your lapband journey!

Follow-up is the most important part of the journey. Without good care, it's very hard to succeed. I work in Manhattan, so I just schedule my appts for after work. Definatly go with a good doctor close to you. I have a friend who has Gastric bypass at Brookhaven Memorial and is very happy with it.

Good luck to you!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
