Searching for a Sleeve Surgeon in NY possibly at Weil Cornell?



Recommended Posts

Hello. I had the lab band procedure in 2009 and was a total failure. I had a band slip and had it released in 2013 (yes its still in me) and I am finally trying to decide on a possibly undergoing gastric sleeve after gaining back my 60+ pounds and then some. I had my surgery in NJ and do not want to return to my surgeon. I am looking to have my surgery done near my job, but the surgeon search tool for this website is not much help. Anyone have any names other than the docs at NYU?

Thank you!

Did you look at cornell weight loss surgery? Drs pomp and Dakin are both good.

I'm going through the process now @NYP-Weill Cornell. Both Drs Pomp and Dakin have excellent reps when it comes to the band revisions. One girl I meet in a support group meeting said Dr. Pomp pretty much saved her life, that's how bad her lap band was.

@@twittymilk are you a revision? Pomp did my first surgery and is doing my revision this summer. He is great!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
