    He's the head of bariatrics at good samaritian hospital in west islip. He definitely doesn't favor one over another. He holds a seminar with your options and tells you the positives and negatives of e

oh thats good to hear. I'm meeting with him monday but I'm not sure he will take me because I'm a revision and I'm not sure if he does those. the office said he does but who knows? I'm not sure how much experience he has with them or with the sleeve for that matter. i will see him in Pt Jeff.

Hello Heidi,

Do you mind if I ask what time is your surgery? I have an appointment with him on Tuesday Morning? Do you like the office staff, have they been helpful and friendly. I would be interested to know how your post-op goes.

thanks,

lee

I went to another dr in Brooklyn (Sherwinter) I didnt like the Hospital or staff and when I researched Dr. Angstatd and the group I got real good info. I like the single incision method!!

I have to call up monday afternoon to find out what time surgery is on Tuesday...are you sure you have an appoint. with Angstatd on Tuesday?

Hello Heidi,

Do you like the office staff, have they been helpful and friendly. I would be interested to know how your post-op goes.

The office staff is real nice, I was very impressed with the hospital...The only issue I had was that the office didnt let me know that my insurance approved the surgery I had to keep calling and be on top of that...

I will let you know how it went post op looking forward! :rolleyes:

What part of long island? I'm in west Babylon. I used dr. Cussatti. He's wonderful.

I am not familiar with Long Island I live in Jersey City.....my doctor is actually in Paramus but I am not sure about him anymore; I can not find anyone who has used him as a surgeon and that has me worried. So, I did some more research and found Dr. Garber but he is not covered under my plan but his partner Dr. Angstatd is and he had good reviews so I schedule an appt to meet with him to discuss my surgery. My surgery is actually schedule for 6/20 with the dr. in Paramus.....right now I do not know what I am going to do?

I had the same issue with Garber. I was scheduled to meet him today but a few days ago they called and told me her doesn't take my ins and they asked me if i would see Angstadt. i was like, who is he? i never heard of him? how old is he? how many has he done, etc etc. my case is a little risky because I'm an ex banister so i want someone with a lot of experience. I'm meeting him monday.
