I recently had my surgery on 11-13-19 and so far so good. Since beginning my journey back in February I have been nothing but pleased with the doctor, staff, and hospital stay. They are truly wonderful! So caring and friendly and always checking up to make sure I’m doing well and staying on track. I highly recommend NYBG anyone wanting to make this type of change in their life.

Thus far, I haven’t had any real complications. Initial recovery is difficult but I turned the corner at around 4 months post op and started eating more and going to the gym. Liz is a phenomenal nut...
