I had surgery on 5/23 at NYU and was operated on by Dr. George Fielding. He's my hero!!! Office is frantic and always packed but well worth it for the class of surgeons like Fielding, Ren and Kurian. I love my surgeon but know that they are all great.

I was banded by George Fielding on 7/7/08 and he is great! Being banded was the best thing I ever did for myself!

I was banded on 9/16/08 by Dr. Kurian who is not only an excellent surgeon, but also a compassionate woman. I could not have made a better choice!!!! My loss has been slow about 25 pounds since pre-op diet which stared on 9/1; but that is really on me, since I struggle with the sweets somewhat still.

I could not ask for more in terms of a practice!

I'm being banded on March 9th by Dr. Fielding. I can't believe how few of us NYUers seem to be on this board given how busy that office is!

Next time you're in the office make sure to mention LaBandTalk to the people sitting around you :thumbup:

I've actually communicated with quite a few members on here that have used Dr. Fielding or Dr. Ren.

LOL good point. And given how long one sits around that office there is plenty of time for discussion :smile:

I guess I am not active enough on the board yet so I haven't come across the other NYUers.

I was banded by Dr. Ren on 2/2/09 and I have nothing but good things to say about her and the practice. Yes the office is busy, but everyone is in the same boat - you run into people there over and over again, its kind of nice to see familiar faces.

LOVE Dr. Ren and LOVE the whole staff.

I am being banded by Dr. Fielding on February 24th. I agree with the previous comments; the office always seems to be packed, but I have really appreciated the personal attention that I have received once in the door. While I am extremely nervous about having surgery, all of the feedback about Dr. Fielding and the other doctors at NYU has been nothing but positive.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
