Long Island Sleevers

Hi! I'm just starting out and I will be having my surgery at Winthrop hospital. Just wondering if anyone has used this group. My dr is Dr A. Barken. I'm going to my primary dr to get a weigh in tomorrow and see if we can back track a few months.

I'm in southern Nassau county if anyone is looking for a buddy

I'm from Long Island and will be using Dr.Lee from West Islip. I was suppose to get surgery this month but due to a change with my insurance requirements it's been pushed to next month. Anyone else use this doctor?

Hey Lisa!

I'm from South Nassau and, guess what? I had my sleeve surgery on March 8th at Winthrop Hospital with..........wait for it..............Dr. Barkan!!!

The surgery went extremely well. No complications and I'm 3 weeks post-op and feeling great! You should be close to your surgery, if not already.
