I am checking into Lap-Band surgeons in my area and Arnot Ogden in Horseheads NY is the closest Hospital with a Doctor that does the band. The doctor is Dr. Subramaniam Sadhasivam and he is covered under my insurance UHC. I am going to look into some other doctors in the Buffalo NY area because I am about 2-2 1/2 hrs from there. Any suggestions???? Thanks

"Revised"

I also found 2 other Dr's at Arnot Ogden

Dr Robert E Cole

and

Dr Douglas Mckane

I did a search for Dr Moon but he apparently is no longer at Arnot Ogden

I went to the Lap-Band website and did a search for certified Lap Band doctors and found there are 2 at Arnot Ogden in Horseheads, NY

I think I will go with Dr. Anishur Rahman

the other doctor certified for the lap band was the Dr. I mentioned above Dr. Subramaniam Sadhasivam (boy thats a mouthfull :thumbup:)

Well anyways I figured I would post them on here in case anyone else was looking for a certified Lap-Band doctor in this area:thumbup:

hi! i just happen to be looking at this site tonight and read your post.i actually live maybe 20-25mins. from the arnot ogden where dr.rahman works,next friday i have my first consult with him for the lap-band.he was recommened to me and my boss contacted his last employer where he was spoken very highly of.i hope this helps.

Thank you Mary. I feel better knowing Dr Rahman comes highly recommended. Let me know how your consultation goes with him. Good Luck:thumbup:

I am about 1 1/2hrs away from Arnot. I'm still in the process of getting my PCP to do the paperwork.

Thanks again for the reply

maggie,

your welcome.i will let you know how the consult goes.i'm getting excitied, i can't wait till next friday.:cursing:

I just wanted to let you know. I live about three minutes from the Arnot Ogden Medical Center in Horseheads. My PCP was not agreeable to the practice at Arnot Ogden. Dr. Moon got fired for having screwed up so many of these procedures, LB and gastric bypass.

He is referring me to Dr. William O'Malley at Highland Hospital in Rochester, NY. 2 hours from here. I have my seminar on March 26.

My niece had gastric bypass by Dr. Sadhasivam in 1/08. She had post-op problems. However, she is okay now, and has lost 130#, and she looks AMAZING!!!

Just thought I would let you know.

wow!!! thanks for sharing that information.i had heard arnot let moon go because of those things.i plan to see dr.rahman a new guy from wisconsin.a friend of mine called his last employer to get the run down on him and they spoke very highly of him.

one of my friends had o'malley do her lap band before thanksgiving last year and she loved him.i wanted to go to him but my husband said no to far to drive and if i do go ahead and get the surgery done i need to be close so he can get to me in case something happens.

hats off to your neice for all the weight she has lost.:crying:
