I got to Dr. Mehta in Patchogue. She did my surgery but I don't know if she does fills for people who's surgery she didn't perform. I LOVE her and she is very patient, understanding and most of all her staff is very nice, also. If I remember correctly, you told me you're in Suffolk County, in Holbrook? So she should be perfect, if she's willing to do your fills. I don't see why she wouldn't be. And boy am I glad I decided not to have Dr. Holover do my surgery. I wasn't happy with his staff at all.

Dr. Mehta's # is 631-475-1013. Good luck! :unsure:

I was seeing Dory Ferraro at LIBC in Levittown but she has changed her hours and isn't as available as she used to be. I love her and her staff and hate to change doctors but don't know what to do. I'd like to see someone at least once a month and go to support group meetings. Does anyone know of a good surgeon/doctor in Nassau County or Queens that is accepting new patients?

Hi....yes. Long Island Bariatric group...they are located in Manhassat on New Hyde Park Rd. 3003. You can see the add for them on the side if this site...where all the ads are. lol

There are two surgeons. Dr. Shawn Garber and Dr. Spencer Holover. They are affiliated with the New York Bariatric group. My surgeon was Dr. Holover but they work together. They also both attend and run their monthly support group at the Demetrius Center on Norhtern Blvd. second Thursday of the month....Tomorrow that is!! Why not stop by and meet them the nutritionist and the PA. You wouldnt be sorry....

Good Luck.

Definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND them at all. More interested in money than patient care.

I had surgery with Dr. Garber and see his PA Donna monthly. I am very happy. They are very nice to me and pretty aggresive with fills. Never had an issue with money or anything like that. I guess it all depends on our personal preferences and experience. Good Luck finding a new fill doctor!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
