Looking for Dr. in Binghamton/Syracuse NY



Recommended Posts

I have been doing the research for several months and I am now looking for a (fairly) local Doctor. I live in Binghamton, NY and I am pretty sure there are no Lap-Band Doctors in Binghamton itself. I am looking to see if anyone has any experience or referrals for Doctors in Syracuse or Ithaca.

I have Empire Blue Cross as my insurance provider, so if you know any Doctors that accept that insurance it would be a big plus.

Thanks in advance,

- Hal

Hi Hlenoble,

My name is Dianne and I've had my surgery back in November by a Dr. Moon in Elmira. They are very nice people and I would recommend him. However, you said in Ithaca. There is a Dr. John Mecenas whom I would have chosen because I live in Newfield but because of my insurance I had to go to Elmira. I have a few friends who've gone to him and really like him. His number is 607-273-3161 if you'd like to give them a call. His address is 1301 Trumansburg Rd. Ithaca, NY 14850. I think that his office is at the hospital - Cayuga Medical Center.

I hope this helps you out. If you would like Dr. Moon's number and address just let me know. Good luck to you Hal.

Dianne

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
