Hi, Thanks for your response. It's been 6 weeks since surgery and have lost 26lbs. I am feeling pretty. Going to the surgeon next week and will probably have my 1st fill. Thank you again

<p>Hi Dani, Thanks for the encouraging words, but believe it or not I never asked what band I have, will have to ask when I see the surgeon next week. Do you know what the differences in the bands are? Until I saw posts from other people I never realized there were different bands. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks Again, Donna</p>

Hey Bandi, If i may ask, who is your INS and how long did you have to work with NYU to get approved?

I'm still not sure if I will have Dr. Ren or Dr. Fielding....

[NYGMEN 0]

WOW.. I didn't know she had a band.

Well you almost there. I hope everything goes well and please let us know how things go at NYU.....

thanks im really excited

i also found out there is a really awesome book out now.. for those of us getting banded.. it could act as a guide and a motivation to get the banding done and succede, for those of you who already did it.. well.... its a book of inspiration and an example i would like to follow. either way.. i think its a good investment for anyone who had or is having the proceadure.

nyu medical representttt .. haha

hello fellow new yorkers... i heard rumor that some restaurants in new york offer baritric sized portions if you call ahead. has anyone here been to such a restaurant or know of a master list of them?

thanks in advance for your help.

Hey all. I got banded by Dr. Fielding on 3/6/08; I'm doing really well, everything went smoothly. The NYU practice is one of the busiest in the country; this can make it a pain in the neck in terms of waiting for appointments and the waiting room being crowded, but if you're a big person being operated on, you want an experienced staff, and you can't do better than the NYU people.

I'm going to start a new thread to see if anyone wants to take my chocolate Royale Low Carb Slimfast Optima off my hands - free. I have five and a half 6 packs...

Dr. Ren really is amazing :wink2:

I am down from 281 to now 213

my goal is by the end of the summer to be 190

and then by next February to be 160

i am a very picky person when it comes to doctors and

she impressed me with her honestly and knowledge
