Hi-

I was banded by Christine Ren in May 2005 and two other close family members were banded by George Fielding. They are both awesome. You will be in great hands of VERY experienced lapband surgeons. They do follow-up care in satellite offices north of NYC so it can be more convenient for you than going to NYU. Feel free to pm me for further info. Best of luck in your journey!

I was banded by Dr. Fielding after doing 3 years of research (a little much, I admit!) and I couldn't be happier with my choice. He and Dr. Ren run a wonderful practice and I would be delighted to talk more about it with you off board if you like.

Good luck on your journey.

I was banded by Dr. Fielding (my friend was banded by Dr. Ren)...you could not ask for two more experienced LAP Band surgeons. Plus, they're just wonderful people...when George heard I was going to Las Vegas, he wrote down a page full of recommendations on where to eat, which clubs to go to, which shows to see. He also then took out 1 CC from my band so I wouldn't have to worry about it on vacation...told me to eat, drink and be merry!

They are very realistic about the band and how it fits in with most people's lifestyles. Fielding, in particular, because he has the band himself...he just gets it that we shouldn't obsess about all the little rules and just live our lives happily. If we lose a pound, GREAT! If we don't, it's not the end of the world, hop up on the table, and let's get you a bit tighter!

Also, Dr. Fielding has, apparently, a fantastic track record when it comes to band slippage. He really knows how to anchor that sucker in there so it won't budge! :)

You won't be disappointed with him. He loves to answer questions and his laid-back attitude is so refreshing.

      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.
