Has Anyone used New York Bariatric Group in Long Island



Recommended Posts

I have just recently switched my surgeon to the New York Bariatric Group in Long Island. I am going to be using Dr Andrade. Has anyone used this facility or any of the doctors? I found the information at stopobesityforlife.com .. they seem to be a great set of doctors and staff there so we will see in the next coming appointments..

Please feel free to give me any info or comments for ppl that have used this center

I've heard of them but I haven't gone there. I am in Long Island though. I go to Dr. Gohil at the Center for Bariatric Specialties in Syosset Hospital. I couldn't be more pleased with him and his office. They are so efficient and a pleasure to deal with. I had no trouble getting insurance approval at all and I'm scheduled for my surgery in 2 weeks. He really explains everything so well and just makes you feel at ease.

This is my second surgeon also. I had originally went to Dr. Cussatti near Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip. Its closer to where I live. But they didn't take my insurance in network, only out of network, and I really didn't care for him all that much. He was more like a salesman than a doctor. He also changes practices and that didn't sit well with me. So I moved on and I'm so happy I did.

Good luck to you!

i have Fidelis Care NY (Medicaid) and this doctor accepts my insurance. I have everything completed, like all the clearance's you have to have from my previous doctor so I will be seeing dr Andrade on Oct 13 for the first time. She said if I have all my clearance's by the time of my appointment I will get my surgery date the same day b/c I already have everything done prior. I am very excited I have been on this journey since June 2011. I know a lot of people take a lot longer but I have researched this for over a year and I know this is the right thing for me.

I just haven't read any reviews online about this particular center only the ones on there website. I was just checking here to see if anyone had used them.

Good Luck on your upcoming surgery... please post how you felt immediately after surgery that is what I am most nervous about..

      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? 🤷‍♀️
