ebar822 0 Posted December 25, 2007 Hey guys! My name is Elisa and I'm a 27 year old 8th grade English teacher from NYC. I've been overweight my entire life and finally got banded on 12-20 by Dr. George Fielding at NYU. I thought the entire staff at NYU was amazing and supportive and I would totally recommend going through them if you are just starting on this journey. I'm five days out of surgery and really optimistic about my new life. I know I have a lot of struggle ahead of me but it's all for the greater good and I can't wait to start seeing the results. I've enjoyed reading about all of your experiences on this site and look forward to continue doing so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
