I live in Upstate NY, between Buffalo & Syracuse, NY, but I travel to NYC to get my fills - My doctor's name is Brian L. Katz, his address is 1010 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10028 and his telephone number is (212) 879-6677. I personally love him. I had my surgery done in Mexico in Aug. 2003 and have been the NYC three times since for fills. Good Luck.

I had my surgery in Staten Island NY by a great doctor. I am sure he would do your fills.. he charges $110 a fill.

Thanks Barb. Laura, would you also post your surgeon's info? Is he at Staten Island University Hospital??

Oh...for both of you... do your docs do fills with fluoroscopy, without, or both? I think I need a fluoro and barium swallow, as it's been 1.5 years since I was filled at all. Need to check on the band. :D

Fab, My doc's name is Georger Ferzli.. he is not out of University hospital.. actually he does the surgery at Victory Memorial in Brooklyn. His office is on Cromwell ave in SI.. # is 718-667-8100. He does not do his fills by Floro. Hope this has helped.

Try Dr. Ren at NYU Medical Center. I believe she has some patients that had their surgery in Mexico.

Hi there,

how was your pregnancy with the Band? and how long after the band was out did you get pregnant?

I'll be banded on March 9, God Willing, and I'd like to get pregnant like a year after....any advice?

Thank you!

Just had a great fill with Dory Ferraro. She's awesome and serves the NY/NJ area. I think she has a website called doryferraro.com.

Thanks everybody!! I'll check Dory out. I just had a fill yesterday with a guy in Jacksonville Beach, FL. He was sooo conservative that he'd only put 1.3 ccs in my Band. Needless to say, I have no restriction whatsoever. He said he'd consider adding more in two weeks. -Sigh- I'll be back in NYC in two weeks. Guess I wasted my $350 here!

Fabfatgrl, if you are still looking for a doctor or for a new one since you feel like the fill wasn't helpful, try contacting Dr. Marc Bessler at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. I'm not sure if he does just fills, but if he does he is absolutely wonderful. He's also one of the bariatric surgeons who was on Gov. Pataki's team when he was at Columbia.

      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.
