I am obviously going to give an unpopular response. The gender of the candidates is not a qualifying factor at all! I do not like McCain at all and I would be very concerned for this country if he was elected. His vp choice makes it even worse. I am most definitely supporting Obama and Biden. I agree with Obama's positions...which were clearly stated in detail in his acceptance speech on Thurs...and Biden is a wonderful choice as vp. They will move this country back into the correct and safe direction!

Not sure but I hope to find out tomorrow. They said my insurance takes about 4-5 weeks after all my clearances so I'm hoping I can have it the first week or so in October. I'll keep you posted.

Hi Lisa. I hope you remember me. We wrote before. I'm new and just saw Dr. Geiss on 8/1. I've had all my preop tests except for the stress test which I have on Tues. I also live on Long Island. I hope you won't mind if I keep in touch with you. Thanks, Lisa

Hi! I'm new too. I saw the doc on 8/1 and have been going thru all the preop testing. I have one more test on Tues...stress test for cardio. Assuming all goes well, I hope to get a surgery date soon. I can't wait to do this and I'm glad there are so many others like you and me here for information and support. Hope to hear from you!

Hello! I am a newbie. I am a patient of Dr. Alan Geiss in Syosset. I live on Long Island, NY. I had my initial consult with the doctor on August 1, and I am almost finished with my pretesting. I am hoping to get my surgery date as soon as possible. I am grateful that this forum exists and I'm looking forward to getting to know you all. I would also appreciate whatever support you would be kind enough to provide. Thanks very much!
