Try tristatebariatrics.com. It's the office of Drs. Kwon and Vinces who seem to do all the lapbands in Orange County. Their practice is incredibly supportive, from the surgeons themselves to the office staff, nurses, counsellors, nurse practioners, dieticians. Mauri Waldman holds a support group 3 times a week in the Middletown office that's a lifesaver, especially when you're down or struggling. Thier primary location is in Port Jervis.

Thanks so much! The more I know about support and support "gorups" in my area, the better I feel. Im wigging over this holiday season...

Hi Heather, have you been banded yet?

I'm meeting with Dr. Singh at Albany Med in a week!

Hope to hear from you soon

Hi,

Currently I Live in Westchester and have a house in Monroe where I spend weekends. We plan to move to Monroe within the year. I was very happy to hear the information offered about the groups in Middletown. Do you know the times they are held. I work in Westchester and would have to do something at night.
