Had my surgery with dr Graber in 2009. Lost 143 pounds. He does know his stuff. Listen really well and his nutritionist really knows her stuff. It can be very confusing to balance things after surgery

I tried to get in with Dr Graber-- they were ready to see me, and were going to schedule my initial consult for a few weeks out from my initial call..... Until they found out my insurance provider. Once they realized I was on Family Health Plus BCBS they pushed my initial consult out to Dec 2013.

I am now in with Dr Oceguera at Cooperstown, and she is a great fit for me!

I'm with Dr. Graber as well, said I'd do either office which ever has a more readily available appt. - I just filled out the paperwork again and am pre op - waiting for orientation. I've gone to 3 orientations with Dr. Graber already, I just never went through with the surgery. I had one surgery date that I had to cancel...

He is a very good doctor, the only problem at all I've faced is he does take medicaid with fidelis and the like - BUT it takes like a year to get the surgery done with medicaid. If you self pay they get you right in but who wants to give $25,000 if insurance can pay for it? Other than that he's a great doctor I would highly recommend him. He's great at listening, and he is very caring as are his whole staff. He came highly recommended from everyone I know who had him do their surgeries as well.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
