Anyone had surgery done in New York?



Recommended Posts

I had my lap-band in NYU in 2003. I've since revised to Bypass. Dr. Alfons Pomp is at Weil Cornell. He's originally from Canada I believe and a very well respected bariatric surgeon. If you're using him and his team, you're in great hands.

I just had my surgery in NYC, but I did it at the Mount Sinai St. Luke's with Dr. E. Harvey. He was great and excellent bedside manners.

Thanks for sharing, I'm getting my surgery done at Weil Cornell as well but with a different surgeon.

I was referred to him. I really felt real comfortable with him on initial appointment. Explained everything

Harvey has excellent bedside manners and he pays attention to his patient’s concern. It’s great so far working with him in this journey.

I went though the NY Bariatric Group -- that's pretty much all they do; can do all the testing on-site, have good follow-up and also a plastic surgery group too. I'd recommend them.

Hi,

I’m having my surgery at Weil Cornell too with Dankin. Who was your surgeon? What did you think of Cornell? Thanks.

My sleeve will be done at the end of next month with approval of insurance pending by Surgeon: Dr. Stephen Merola at NYP Queens.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
