Sisters undergo bariatric weight-loss surgery together

Описание: Sisters who grew up sharing many things – a room, friends and a weight problem – recently shared something else: bariatric surgery — done on the same day, by the same surgeon, at the same hospital. Caitlyn and Cassidy Deerkoski had gastric sleeve surgery performed by Dr. Armando Castro, chair of surgery at Long Island Jewish Forest Hills in Queens.
