Thanks!  How are you doing with your journey?  I'm am moving very slowly.  I kind of feel like I didn't get the information I really needed.  Everyone ther taked VERY good care of me.  I just feel like they could have prepared us more!
At least I have lost 50 pounds so far!

 oh wow it doesn't look like posts get bumped to the top when people reply. oh well.  but OP - if you happen to see this, please let me know if you looked into this or have leads for me. i would greatly appreciate it. 

 hi there -

i am new to the area and to this forum too.  i am wondering the same thing and would really appreciate any referrals or references of doctors in this area. (i am in buffalo but anything in the greater region would be fine.)  i found this old thread and instead of starting a new one thought i would just see if anyone had anything to add or an update from the OP.  i am really eager, had successful surgery (and WL) in az and now that i've moved, i'm really ready to find the right dr.

thank you so much,

Cam

i know one person who had surgery with dr. ahmad. i've nly ehard good things about him. as for surgery type, personally i would (and did) choose rny over the band, mainly because rny has greater success and less complications than the band. that being said, the ds and vsg are also worth looking into.

Anyone have plastics approved with Medicaid? If yes which procedures? What were the requirements to get it covered? How long did it take to get approved? I live in Syracuse and have Total Care. Thanks!
