Has anyone been treated by Dr. DiBenedetto?

I am curious to hear about this Dr. because he may be doing my lap band surgery  and I would like to hear from anyone who he has did gastric bypass surgery on, especially the lap band procedure. He used to practice in lackawanda in buffalo ny now he has moved his practice to Rochester NY.  Any information is welcomed i look forward to hearing from everyone.

I don't have him but wanted to say hi and welcome. You can type his name into the search bar at the top and click OH and that will give you some information on him.  Good luck. Christine

Thank you for elcoming me iIhope to one day be writing about my surgery and about  the weight iIlose. Cant wait for that day to come.

Hi I did have doctor Dr D and he is wonderful. He worked in Lockport not Lackawana. He is very attentive and an awesome doctor....Feel free to check out my profile. Hugs, Chris

Hey chris thanks, and u kno I realized I had put the wrong city after I posted but I figured if somenone knew him the would know who I was taling about.Okay did he do a bariatric procedure on you if so, could you tell me about it? What makes him an awesom doctor. I have met him once so far at the informational meeting and he does seem genuinely sincere. Well anything you could tell me about him I would appreciate especially about your sugrey and post. Have a blessed day.

I had open rny in Jan 06. I recovered nicely and he answered all my questions and gave me time. Now a days when a doctor does not rush you that means alot. He came to see me in the hospital numerous times and even stopped and chatted with me in the hallway. He truely cares about his patients. I honestly feel he wants to see us succeed with this surgery.... Let me know if there are other questions I can answer. Hugs, Chris

Hi Chris well I am curious to know how soon did u start losing weight and when did it start to plateau, and since the surgery how mant times has Dr. DiBenedetto personally had appts with you. Is there anything you regret about having the surgery , if u had to do it all over again would you. Oh and how much weight did he require u to lose prior to your surgey date. Hoep you are having a blessed weekend.

Hello again,   I was required to lose 20 lbs. I started off at 278 lbs. I lost 30 prior to my surgery because I wanted to show I was dedicted and could do this. (That is the only reason he asks you to lose) I had surgery Jan 06 and saw Dr. D  at 2 weeks, 6 weeks 3 months, 11 months and 15 months and went in to see him because of pain at 17 Each of these times I saw HIM....I weighed and measured myself at each month out so if you want specific amounts of how much I lost check out my profile. By the time I was 1 yearout I weghed 139 lbs which is exactly have of what I weighed. Today I bounce between 134-149 pounds. Hope I helped you....The only thing I regret is I did not do it sooner, and I would do it again in a heartbeat...Hugs, Chris

Hi there!  Just wanted to say hi because we are in the same boat!  I am looking to have my RNY with Dr. D in mid to late January.  Right now I'm getting everything ready paperwork/insurance wise.  So far he seems great to me.  We should keep in touch!
