Just had consultation ,very excited ! I am getting my sleeve in Penn Medicine!

Ever hear of a Dr. Ibrahim at Englewood Hospital ????Or aa Dr. Daniel Herron att Mt. Sinai in Manhatten ?

I'm from north jersey and my date is Nov. 19.

Hi...where are you having it done ? I am thinking about someone at Englewood Hospital or Mt. Sinai Hospital in Manhatten....who will be doing yours ?

Having it done at Overlook Hospital by Dr. lopes...how about you?

still undecided..... I have searched for several of the best to do the gastric sleeve....and wanted to go to Mexico ...however, after reading and speaking to many people--I will have it done in the USA....take a loan.......just got out of school....so it is difficult..... how did you find your surgeon ?

I found my surgeon through my insurance company and also through lots of research. Personally I would not trust going to Mexico for any surgery. Do your research and doctor shop. Find someone that works for you and fits your personality. Good luck!

I agree with beckyrn...make sure you do your research....

Someone that I know in California suggested a surgeon at a hospital in NYC.....langone NYU ? His name is Dr. Fielding ?? Anyone hear of him ? Since I am looking at doctors only in America.....I am open to finding the best.....will take out a medical loan.... in looking at the Mexico doctors, I was so concerned since I learned of mixed messages and information? And, having such a serious operation in another country is another consideration.....?

I read a post earlier about a woman who had her surgery schedualed in Mexico...she changed her mind and asked for your money back.....she was given a hard time and the coordinator was mean and nasty....he sent her a 'rubber check;..atleast, she made the right decision.....I suppose the coordinator did not want to lose his commission......I feel that we have to be vigilant and question everything.....`thoughts ?????

Scheduled my pre surgical test at the hospital for Nov 8th....in other news be careful the next couple of days fellow NJ sleevers,,,hoping we all don't lose power

How is everyone doing? Still no power here but not complaining as I still have my home, family and lively hood. Hope others are doing well

I am doing good...got our power back...no serious damage here. Very lucky and grateful

NO POWER for 5 days..just got to my son's apt who just got his power turned on....I had to walk down 9 flights of stairs in the dark...my town...Edgewater has no power still......awful....hope that ya;ll are well......R

I interviewed Dr. Daniel Herron at Mout Sinai Hospital in Manhatten......I think that he is great however, I do not know too much about him....anyone here have a surgery with him ? thanks...... R
