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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
