My decision

My decision didn't come easy. I knew after about 2 years of research that this was the option for me. I called several different bariatric clinics, I called Rochester, Albany, Scranton, Syracuse, and Cooperstown. In Rochester, I was never able to get a hold of anyone - no one would return my calls or send me info. Albany - the staff that I talked to on the phone I found very rude to me - so nope not there either. Scranton - the receptionist was friendly, the nurse of physican I spoke to didn't seem to have the time - so I ruled them out as well. Syracuse - again I was talking to a brick wall - they just didn't seem to care about the patients. I decided okay I guess this just isn't going to happen right away. I finally called Cooperstown by the request of one friends I was talking to, and when I did I spoke to this lady by the name of Chris - she was fabulous! She was friendly, nice, asked me questions, and sent me a large packet of information with everything I needed and wanted to know that the others just weren't willing to give to me over the phone. The packet included a health information, meeting dates, phone numbers, how they screened their patients - I was amazed there was just so much of it. I finally found piece and took the next step.
