From the Long Island area you can see Dr. Ren in NYU.

There is Dr. Schrope in Columbia Hospital.

Google it and numerous will come up.

These are the ones I know!

A friend of mine was sleeved by him on 5/23 and she is down 5/23. If you don't mind me asking, what insurance do you have? What was your pre-op & post-op experience like? How long has it been since you were sleeved?

1. sleeved on July 3, 2012

2. Empire blue cross/shield

3. Pre-op experience: Other than some administrative frustrations (people not sure if my tests were in, and recorded, et...) I had a good experience. I was a little'pushy'....I had no intentions on waiting 6 months for surgery!

4. Post-op: great! I came through the surgery with flying colors, never filled my pain meds once home. The Bariatric Team at Mercy Hospital, was supportive both pre and post op. I am down 12 lbs so far, and trying to not to weigh myself every hour! LMAO!

I'm from Brooklyn NY, getting my sleeve at Mount Sinai hospital by DR Herron. The entire team has been great. I'm only one month in for my six month supervised diet but I have nothing by great things to say so far. All my appointment are set up and things are rolling faster than I expected. Going for my upper GI next week.

Wishing you all the best of luck!

From Franklin Square Long Island. I picked Dr. Dakin from NY Presbyterian & couldn't be happier. Sleeved 9/17. No complications at all. Down 37 pounds. Bariatric floor looked like hotel suites.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
