Help Me & My Daughter.........Please
Ok OHer's in the NYC, i need your help for my daughter who currently lives in NY and is looking to research a Surgeon for WLS. She lives in Bronx, NY, and works in Manhattan. Due to her busy work schedule the only WLS Seminar she has found takes place on her late work day which is Thursdays.
Please, can anyone recommend a Really, Good Surgeon and another day that his/her Seminar might be held during the week so that my daughter can attend a Seminar and get the ball rolling. We really need your support NY and thank you for any information you can lend us in support of this post.
Good Luck to all of you anticipating Surgery and those of you that have had your surgeries.
I live in NYC and would be more than happy to meet with her. PM me and I'll send you my contact information.
I am 2 1/2 years post op, maintain well and happy to share my experience with her. And the seminars are held during the day so it works great for her schedule as you ask.

V'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
Hi!
I recommended Mount Sinai Hospital on 98th street. I had my surgery there and would not have gone anywhere else. My surgeon was Dr. Herron and he is a *****y man who keeps everything 100% truthful and realistic. There website is www.surgicallyslim.com and there are other drs. in the practice that I hear nothing but good things about.
I also live in the bronx. How old is your daughter? If she is on the younger side (in her 20's) and would like to talk to someone in the same age group whose been through surgery tell her to feel free to contact me. She can also email me at [email protected]. That is my personal email.

Carol....please take the time to meet Dr. Shawn Garber.
Some will say "Oh he's too full of himself" (even I have said it!!!) but his record is fantastic and he's always on top of the newest/latest/greatest updates in the Bariatric Field.
My sister used his partner, Dr. Spencer Holover, (due to health insurance coverage) and couldn't have been happier.
I interviewed THREE Surgeons before selecting Dr. Garber (Garber....NOT Dr. Graber, a totally different doctor). He is well-known and even a mentor to many of his colleagues.
Best of luck.....keep us posted!
Hugs,
Karen
