Topic: RE: Newbie
I have researched WLS tiredlessly and know this is the right decision for me. So, even though it seems like it's been a "fast" process, I realize the road will be long. I am just anxious to start the journey post surgery.

Just remember - just because it's fast A.K.A - Convenient...the surgery won't make you lose weight. Yes, initially no matter what you you eat, you'll lose weight (and might get sick too), you need time to develop good eating habits and a food plan (I hate the word diet because it's negative, but a diet is an an eating plan)....
To be successfuly, you have to know WHY you got the way you did. This is NOT a quick fix. You will STILL have food issues (cravings, urges to binge, bad choices, etc...)
I suggest finding a good support group, and go - both before after surgery - it's more important to go AFTER surgery - and KEEP going.
I wish you luck! And hope you have thought it all through. We'll be here for you!

Try Dr. William Graber - he is in Utica NY, but also does surgery at St. Joseph's in Syracuse. He is doing mine (and my daughter's) surgery next week. I first met him in November and am having surgery just over 2 months later! Good Luck!

Topic: Does anyone have United Healthcare in the WNY area??
Hello,
I had open RNY last January, however my husband is looking into having this done as well. Unfortunately my surgeon will not take his insurance. It seems like there are no bariatric surgeons in the WNY area that accept United Healthcare.
If you have any experience with this could you please give us any information?
Thanks in advance!
We are willing to go over an hour away into Rochester if needed, but were hoping to find something somewhat closer to the Buffalo area.
TIA!
