Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.
I am sending out this announcement with much regret........White PLains HS has removed our group from their facility, therefore our Support Group will no longer meet. Wednesdays meeting is cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience.
However, I am currently seeking to find another place and if you have any ideas, PLEASE let me know a.s.a.p
I am absolutely passionate about the subject of long-term aftercare for the bariatric community to support our long term success and health no matter which tool you choose.

When I was researching wls I requested Dr. Castaneda's statistics from Medical Tourism Corporation. I don't recall the exact numbers, but he has done many bypass and sleeve surgeries .... close to 200 of those specifically mgb. My reading indicates that the learning curve for surgeons on the mgb is suggested to be over 100 for best safety and success.
I did speak in advance with two of Dr. Castaneda's earlier patients, and post-surgery with another. All very happy with their results.
If I had known how well everything would go, I would have done this way sooner. But I was a scaredy cat. :o)
