Christine- I have surgery with Dr. Greenbaum in about a month- it took me a long time because I had to schedule all of my pre-op consultations around my college schedule (I could only have them on Fridays), but I saw one person at a group meeting that only took about 6 weeks from the first consultation to her surgery date. (They won't schedule your surgery date until you have done all the preliminary consultations, this way, the people who are really serious about persuing it will, and those who are iffy about it won't clog up dates only to decide otherwise later.) I don't know much about Dr. wasser, but I would say DEFINITELY visit the group meetings in the back of the hospital cafeteria. They are really helpful; Dr. G is there at every meeting and you'll get to meet lots of people who have already had the surgery with him and Dr. W. Plus, you can get all your paperwork there and the sheet of Drs you can visit to get the journey started. Also, you can visit his patient forum at http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/mdcomments.php?N=k92 to get lots of opinions. Good luck to you!!
