We study reducible surgeries on knots in S^3, developing thickness bounds for L-space knots that admit reducible surgeries and lower bounds on the slice genus of general knots that admit reducible surgeries. The L-space knot thickness bounds allow us to finish off the verification of the Cabling Conjecture for thin knots. Our techniques involve the d-invariants and mapping cone formula from Heegaard Floer homology. This is joint work with Holt Bodish.
