Lester Cooperstone

"My first impression of Dr. Cooperstone was, as expected, pleasant. I felt I already knew him and his assistant, Fern, from all the things I had already read about them on the internet. He was very informative and thorough about pre op and the actual procedure. I have done so much reading that he didn't tell me anything I hadn't already learned. He did discuss the risks but again, I already knew. We didn't really get into aftercare. He has recently started an aftercare support group that meets once a month. He invited me to join the next meeting and meet his post-op patients before I decide. He said I need to quit smoking and schedule a second appointment and we will discuss the surgery I choose and aftercare. I am having a hard time deciding between VGB and RNY. I think I want the VBG because it is less invasive. Then there is the thought that if I'm gonna do it, go all the way. My husband wants me to have the VBG though he will support my choice. I expect to continue to like this Dr. as I have read so many good things about him. I'll let you know!!! Well I am 2 weeks post op and I want to tell you what a wonderful Dr. he is and what a fabulous bedside manner he has!!!!! He is the best!!!!!"
