Thank you for your replies!!! Did you guys did homework when you chose your doctor, what made you go to Dr. Graber. So far I am impressed with the fact that Dr. Graber looks like has it all done together, meaning I will have the seminar, consult, psychs eva and nutritionist eva all in the same day, and their staff are really nice when I've called. I like the idea of private rooms, but at this point what kinda "bothers" me is the time it takes to get in to see him, and then I am guessing it will take even longer for the actual procedure to take place. I have the seminar, ect schedule for late February, and when I asked the girl told me it would take around 3 months to get the surgery, I am just afraid I will get cold feet I guess. Although at this point based on what I've read I might not be a candidate because I am only 80 pounds over weight, and it seems the only comorbidities that are important are diabetes and or hypertension.... I don't have neither 8 (

Good luck with yours Juliannsmommy!!!!

Hello!

I initially set up with Dr. Graber. It took me three months to get a seminar appointment and when I did, it was several months away. In the mean time, I checked out the staff at Upstate Bariatric. I got into the seminar quickly and had an initial consult with Dr. McDonald within a month. I love them. They are phenomenal. My surgery is March 11th and to be honest, they could not have prepared me any more. I am completely confident in the care I have received as well as the care that is to come.

Good luck in whatever decision you make. <3

My date is March 11th! I started my journey to WLS in May of last year. I'm so very excited!! Good luck to all March WLSers!! <3

I live in Cleveland....just north of Syracuse on Oneida Lake.
