I don't know the doc, but I have been to the hospital a couple of times. I thought the service and level of cleanliness was far greater at Vassar Bros then St Francis. No one in the area was really doing banding when I started looking into it so I went out of the area.

I was banded on 3/3/09 by Dr. Artuso at SFH and I am very pleased both with him and the facility. He is a quiet, caring man who is very gentle and thorough. The SFH staff in his office (Pat & Dorothy) are also very nice. The same-day care at SFH was very good. My only complaint would be that I was in x-ray for what seemed like forever after my surgery (to make sure I could swallow & that the band was in place.) The aftercare is good as well (ie my monthly visits for weigh-in & fills.) They run on time & you aren't sitting in the waiting room forever. The monthly support group meetings are also good...I just wish we met more than once a month.

      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! 😞
