Dr. George Fielding - Dr. Fielding anyone?



Recommended Posts

I'm going to "Learn to Eat with George" on March 15th in New York City, is anyone else going?

This is the first time I'm going so I don't know exactly what happens but I'm assuming Dr. Fielding has dinner with those patients that are willing to pay $50.00 a head and teach them how to eat?!

So let me know, I'd love to meet those of you that were banded by Dr. Fielding. :)

How do I sign up? Can I go even though I am not his patient?

I met him twice and I have read a lot about him....

I don't know, you have to call his office and find out. Speak to Beth Abrams at 212-263-3237 or e-mail her at beth.abrams@med.nyu.edu.

I hope you can come! :)

Unfortunately, I can't go to the March dinner, but I do want to go in April. Dr. Fielding was the perfect doc for me: straight forward, no handholding, and a dry sense of humor...he's been such a delight, and I'm sorry I'm going to miss "Dinner with George"....let us know how the first dinner goes!

you can always visit his and Dr. Ren, and Dr. Kurian's website for info on what they do there. There are support groups too and they don't ask who banded you.

NYU Thin For Life is the website address.

listen to George he is the best we were sorry to see him leave Aus but he Trained a super Dr here in Aus calee Blair Bowden so if you can't see George make sure that the Dr you do see has been trained by him as you know that you will be in very safe hands

Georges talks are very down to earth easy to understand and he talks in our language not all medical gobble

enjoy and have a great evening

Hi -- I go to Dr. Fielding/Ren's office for Fills! I come from Philly, but it's worth the trek for me. So far, I have gone to almost everyone in the office (except Dr. Fielding) and they are so fabulous! I feel next to nothing, it's fast, and they sure know what they're doing! I had the surgery done

Question for the original OPer: This is March 15?? Isn't that a Sat evening? If so, I will DEFINITELY be there!

Best, Danielle

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
