Hi there, I live in Ulster County but I am using Dr. Kaul who is a doctor in Westchester. My surgery will either be at the Westchester Medical Center, or at the Putnam Hospital.

I have to attend my pre-surgery support group meetings still. Will anyone else be attending any?

Good luck to you. I live in Westchester County and had my surgery performed by Dr. Cerebona and Dr. Kaul assisted him. My surgery was performed at Westchester Medical Center on 2/19/13. I've lost 115lbs so far with 35lbs more to go. Maybe, I'll see you at their annual dinner in 2014.

I just noticed this is an old post and you have probably already had surgery.

Patient of Dr. Sommers @ Hudson Valley Hospital. This is week one of post op for me. So far so good, sore throat from incubation is the most uncomfortable element. Belly button pain is minimal. Really enjoy reading about everyone's journey. YouTube videos and forums have been such a great tool!
