About LI Obesity Surgery

What is LI Obesity Surgery?

LI Obesity Surgery is a surgical practice at 224 Wall St, Suite 101, Huntington, NY 11743, on Long Island. Its main work is bariatric surgery, including gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, revision surgery, gastric band, and Overstitch. It also offers general surgery, body contouring, and a medical weight loss program. The phone number is (631) 351-2024.

David Buchin, FACS, MD, founded the practice, and he is the only prescriber the clinic names.

All of them are described as FDA-approved. Its program includes monthly visits with a provider, monthly sessions with an on-site nutritionist, personalized meal plans, monthly weigh-ins, and support groups on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month. In its own words: "Our medical weight loss program offers a personalized, non-surgical approach tailored to your individual health needs and goals."

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. There is no consultation fee, no monthly program fee, and no price for any medication. It does not say whether medication is included in any price, whether it accepts insurance, or whether it offers HSA use, financing, or membership terms. Call (631) 351-2024 and ask for the full monthly cost in writing before you book. Include the medication, nutritionist visits, lab work, and any follow-up.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who writes the prescription. Ask whether Dr. Buchin will see you for each refill or whether another clinician will. Then ask whether the monthly fee covers the medication, and what you will pay for it if it does not.

Ask which product you would receive, since Wegovy, Ozempic, and Rybelsus are all listed under semaglutide. Ask whether it is the brand-name drug or a compounded version. Ask what follow-up visits, nutritionist sessions, and lab work cost, and whether a telehealth visit is possible. No telehealth option is mentioned. Finally, ask how cancellation works and whether you owe anything after you stop.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a surgeon-led practice that also offers a non-surgical medical weight loss program, and you are ready to get the full monthly cost and medication details in writing before you commit. It is a poorer fit if you need published prices to compare clinics before you call.
