Dr Herron???

I just wanted to do a quick post to see if anyone here had there surgery done by Dr herron at Mount Sinai Hospital.He is going to be my surgeon and i love him and that fact that he is very knowledgeable about his business and he doesn't makes me feel like a fatty, if that makes any sense.Any feed back would be greatly apprecaited,T.I.A

you didnt' say which surgery you are going in for?  I didnt' use him but he is an excellent surgery for I believe the RNY and lap band.  I am not sure if he does the sleeve and from what I am told he tells people he does the DS but in the end, talks them out of it.

Thank you RBB825 for your response,I'm having the sleeve.I met with dr herron back in 09 but i was too scared.I like him from the moment that i met him.From the research that i've done i dont think that he does the DS.I feel very comfortable with him.I talked to people on oh who had RNY and the sleeve done by him and they were very happy.

 I just had my sleeve done last Thursday (2/23) by Dr. Kini who is in the same group as him. 

I really have enjoyed my experience with Kini and all of the staff there at Mt Sinai. Honestly, so far the most impressive thing was my hospital stay. Talk about great nurses and residents!

I hear great things about Dr kini as well,I'm glad that you had a wonderful experience.How are you feeling as of late?

 Pretty dang good actually. Still a little sore and it's still hard to sleep comfortably. I wake up about one or two times during the night. I think eating and drinking is the hardest part. Before 1/4 of a cup of food could be digested at one time I feel like. Now tiny bites and taking breaks inbetween. I actually bought baby spoons and that seems like its helping. 

7lbs down post surgery, one week out. I can't complain one bit.

Just make sure you start walking right when they give you the okay in the hospital. I'm sure you'll be at the same place I was. There is a long walkway to two other units and then take the back hallway to make a big loop. You can even go into the other units and walk around them too, no one bothers you. 

I know the eating part will be hard as your new stomach starts to heal.I'm the first case,So that means my surgery will be at 8 in the morning,Very excited about that because thats what i wanted.12 more days and i'll be on that bench with you.Who knows maybe we might run into each other day while at the office for follow up vist.

Hello Dr Kini is my surgeon I am waiting approval for the DS. I love Mt Sinai also.

Whew. This came sooner than I thought. Monday is my day. Good luck with both of you

Sara,I know you must be excited/nervous.My thoughts are with you that everything goes well.I'll be thinking about you.
