Weil-Cornell- Dankin or Afaneh?



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I will be making an appointment with cornell for a consultation. I was referred to Dr. Pomp but it is my understanding that he just retired. I have a choice to see either Dankin or Afaneh. Has anyone had Either for surgery? Although it’s my understanding that Dankin took over for Pam, the reviews for Afaneh online seem better. Thoughts? Thanks.

@Classc1I've been a patient there for a long time. Yes, Dr. Pomp has retired from Weill Cornell and will be at the U. Of Montreal. I know Dr. Dakin fairly well. He's taken over as chief. Afaneh has a decent reputation, too. I think it depends on which surgery you want as to who you see.

Thank you. I’m thinking the gastric sleeve.

@Classc1 I think either would be fine for that. If you want to speak to others about who they've used, you can always go to a bariatric support group there.

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
