Hi Everyone - I'm considering VSG surgery.  There are many dr.'s and hospitals to choose from the the NYC area.  Can anyone recommend a you dr and hospital and tell me about your experience.  So far I've been looking into dr. Roslin at Lenox Hill and Dr. Dakin at NY Presbyterian-Cornell.  Thank you!

I had Drs. Gagner & Pomp at Weill Cornell do my DS.  They do the VSG as well.  Dr. Dakin is in the practice and I know a few people who have had the DS with him. 

I also know people who have had the DS and RNY with Dr. Roslin. 

They all have pretty good reputations.  I'd make sure you check the aftercare programs.  That they have people *****ally know the sleeve (e.g. nutritionists) and how to work it.

Thank you very much for your response.  Dr. Gagner was actually the dr. I started looking at first - but it seems he relocated to Florida.  Thanks again for the info.

I went with Dr Roslin, he has an extremely low complications rate.
