Thanks melanie

Hey all I am looking for a great surgeon in New Mexico or Arizona for my other half we no longer live in NYC where I had my surgeon and cannot afford to go back there so any help would be possible.

Thanks

Congrats lady.

@lt1002 I so agree with you I wish I went to Cornell for my surgery Lenox hill left me pissed off and don't get me started on Sharon she really judges you and never returns phone calls all she does is just gives u copies of papers and just push you away I do not regret my surgery but I definately regretted Lenox hill.

Hey I didn't have a breathing tube just woke up in some pain but 1year and 5 months later I am down 100 pounds and still want to be down another 50 pounds my process has been slow but I do not regret it and after the first 3 months you will not regret it either.

I so!!!!! Understand your pain I was so angry the first few months watching my family, friends, co workers and strangers eat whatever they wanted pissed me off I cried everyday I kept saying why did I do this and being Jamaican it didn't help no more of that food either but over time I got better I still get angry sometimes but not as much just take it one day at a time it will get better

Hey rob had my surgery 12/10 it is definately an emotional journey I still struggle sometimes but it will get better day by day.

Congratulations on your up coming surgery you will do great!!!

I went there for a consultation and I didn't feel comfortable with staff or the dr so I didn't go back.

My doctor was Dr. Mitchell Roslin at Lenox Hill Bariatrics my only issue is the wait holycrap they have you wait forever no matter what time the appointment is the waiting room is always packed and they have 3 or 4 doctors but my overall experience was good dr roslin gets straight to point and with any issues u have he has a suggestion for almost everything. Overall if you want hand holding and rocking you sorry you won't it there if u want good surgeons then you are in good hands.

Good luck lady you will be great.

Thanks deshauna this is a good site very helpful.

Thank you Lilian appreciate it.

First be ready to wait!!!!! He is a super busy doctor with the office and all the tv appearances he will have you waiting forever no matter what time your appointment is, if you are looking for a doctor to be super sweet and hold your hands well he is definately not the one he just gets to the point and before you know it he is outta the room lol but he will answer any questions you have you just have to hold him down Everytime I would go to I would say to my partner "I don't like him" and she would say he is a great doctor you are just use to shappy doctors lol (she is a nurse so I took her advice and stayed). Performance wise he did my surgery good he did check on me a few times while I was in the hospital I haven't had any complications so you are in good hands, being away from NYC made me realize how much I missed that long wait office lol.

Hey Lab my doctor was dr Mitchell Roslin who will is your dr?

Thank you all I appreciate the warm welcome

Thanks miss diva appreciate it.

12/21/2010 and down 110 pounds still have more to go but I am happy!!!

Hey Cassandra thank you for the welcome my only advice I have learned over this year and a few months is do not compare your weightloss to others we are all individuals and loss our weight differently I have had crazy break downs in the beginning because I wasnt losing weight like others.

Congratulations u look great.

Congratulations!!!

That is so crazy I have never heard that dr was a jerk.

Hey all my name is Lorraine I am 34yrs old I had my sleeve surgery 12/21/2010 at Lenox Hill Hospital my highest weight was 311 pounds I am only 5'3 as of today 3/9/2012 I am floating between 200 and 202 pounds I wanted to be down to 180 by now but I have had some emotional set backs and I have not exercised but I am still happy with my weight loss and I do not regret doing the surgery I have tried to have my surgery for 6 years it was worth the wait. I am no longer living in NYC and not close to my support group or any support group so I am online looking for support groups or people to talk to.

Thanks all.
