Anyone from Upstate NY that know of a sleeve doc? I do know of one..looking for more options...hey upstate ny, thats me - i live in Syracuse, where are you? I am having my sleeve done by Dr. Simon. He seems good, not that personable, but all we want is a good qualified Dr. and i think he fits the bill. My DOS is around the corner 12/6/11- can't wait. write back if you like kathy

Thanks...Kim

I am getting this done in January and have been going through the process with Dr. Trivedi at St. Peters (Albany, NY). He was recruited by the hospital to start a bariatric unit and has great success rates. I did my research ahead of time and this was the best doctor in the area.

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!

hi kimmer

My surgery is set for 12/15/11 with Dr. Simon in Syracuse, NY

I mentioned earlier that i really didn't explore dr. didn't check and speak with others. Basically the first dr. i met with i liked and went with him.

I think it initially concerned me- but he also is doing the surgery at a center of excellence.

The dr. postponed my surgery from 12/6 to 12/15 - because he was being cautious about a medical condition of mine. I think him changing his mind (wanted me to go to a different hospital that he felt was more equipped.

I am I am seeing Dr. Judd, who is Dr. Hamni's partner, this week, 12/28/12, and I expect to have the surgery at Orange Regional Health Center. Anyone hear of Dr. Judd?

Dr. Artuso @ St Francis Hospital Poughkeepsie he also has the bariatric center @ Dobbs Ferry NY I am having surgery with him Nov 15th I saw him Oct 25th had my pre testing with psych pulmonary and cardiac all int he same day and papers went to insurance they are wonderful there !

I just have a few questions about the surgery. I was hoping that you could help me. I had the lapband in 08 and had to have it out in 11. So I am having the sleeve done on 1-2-13. But I just wanted to know a few things about it. Hope to hear from you soon. Tammy

My surgery was done by Dr. Hamdi on 1/23/12 at ORMC. Not familiar with Dr. Judd, but only hear good things. Good luck. BTW, have you been to the support groups, yet?

Hi everyone. I had my surgery August 17th with dr Judd out of orange regional medical center. Great team over there. I was back home in one day. I'm feeling amazing. I'm glad I went with a great surgeon. I see him tomorrow for my first preop appt. I'm already losing weight. I walk a mile three times a day. I just thought I should share my experience with him. Good luck everyone!
