Anyone from Upstate NY that know of a sleeve doc? I do know of one..looking for more options...

Thanks...Kim

Well I do wish you luck. It is not done by many around here. We have already discussed that though.lol

Have the surgery in NYC. It will be worth the travel.

Did you ever find a surgeon who performs the sleeve in upstate NY? Who have the other upstaters gone with?

Anyone been able to travel to another part of NY but still be covered under insurance?

I went to Dr. Hamdi at Crystal Run Healthcare in Middletown, NY. The operation was done at Orange County Regional Medical Center, Arden Hill Campus in Goshen, NY. They have a great program that gets you ready for the procedure. I was sleeved on 11/29.

Doctors Posner and Hoffman at Buffalo General Hospital are good.

Goto Albany Medical Center Bariatric Program. They currently have 2 or 3 surgeons and it is a center of excellence.

Dr. Hamdi will be doing my surgery on June 6th. --well structured program. The bariatric program has been certified "A Center of Excellence".

Had my surgery with Dr. Trivedi at St. Peter's Hospital in Albany, New York. It's been 4 1/2 weeks and I feel great - I'm down 49 lbs. since preop (33 lbs.since surgery). I would highly recommend St. Peter's and Dr. Trivedi -- it would be well worth the drive from anywhere.

Dr Terrence Clarke at Ellis Bariatric. Can't say enough about him and the entire program.

They are a Center of Excellence as well.

Hello! I am from Saratoga. I had my sleeve done in Schenectady at Ellis! Dr Ingram did it! She is a great doc! She hasnt done a ton, but, she did an awesome job with me! I trust her completely. I had an issue and went to urgent care and that doc complimented my incision sites saying they look beatiful! LOL! I over did it and pulled open my large incision site a little bit and UC reapplied steri strips. There are 3 bariatric doctors at ellis, but, Dr Ingram was the most excited to do the sleeves and she is up to date on all the latest seminars and she talks to other Dr.s at Albany med that do the sleeve as well. Good luck with your journey! Any questions, feel free to give me a shout out!

There is Dr. Hill and Dr. Moon in Saranac Lake at Adirondack Medical Center. Its actually Dr. Hixon's office but Hill and Moon are the surgeons. I have been working with them and am just waiting for my insurance approval now. Has anyone else dealt with A.M.C.?

Dr. Hamdi is my surgeon. Hopefully will have surgery in January. What was your experience like??
