NYU Thin For Life

I'm in NJ but am willing to take the drive for the best.

did you ever go for your surgery?

dr kurian 212 2633166 at nyu was fabulous office a bit frenetic but worth it

operated by dr kurian 03/08 lost 22lbs ldl cut in 1/2 blood sugar lowered feeling healthy happy with the results

I was operated by Dr. Ren. I have only good things to say about her and her practice!!

I had surgery on 5/23 at NYU and was operated on by Dr. George Fielding. He's my hero!!! Office is frantic and always packed but well worth it for the class of surgeons like Fielding, Ren and Kurian. I love my surgeon but know that they are all great.

I was banded by George Fielding on 7/7/08 and he is great! Being banded was the best thing I ever did for myself!

I was banded on 9/16/08 by Dr. Kurian who is not only an excellent surgeon, but also a compassionate woman. I could not have made a better choice!!!! My loss has been slow about 25 pounds since pre-op diet which stared on 9/1; but that is really on me, since I struggle with the sweets somewhat still.

I could not ask for more in terms of a practice!

I'm being banded on March 9th by Dr. Fielding. I can't believe how few of us NYUers seem to be on this board given how busy that office is!

Next time you're in the office make sure to mention LaBandTalk to the people sitting around you :thumbup:

I've actually communicated with quite a few members on here that have used Dr. Fielding or Dr. Ren.

LOL good point. And given how long one sits around that office there is plenty of time for discussion :smile:

I guess I am not active enough on the board yet so I haven't come across the other NYUers.

Hey,

Check out the other threads here on lapbandtalk and you will see other posts by different people who were banded by the Docs at NYU. Type in NYU in the search box and all the different threads will come up.

Best of luck to you! You are making a great choice using NYU.

Will do, thanks!

I was banded by Dr. Ren on 2/2/09 and I have nothing but good things to say about her and the practice. Yes the office is busy, but everyone is in the same boat - you run into people there over and over again, its kind of nice to see familiar faces.

LOVE Dr. Ren and LOVE the whole staff.

I am being banded by Dr. Fielding on February 24th. I agree with the previous comments; the office always seems to be packed, but I have really appreciated the personal attention that I have received once in the door. While I am extremely nervous about having surgery, all of the feedback about Dr. Fielding and the other doctors at NYU has been nothing but positive.

Hi Everyone - I'm also using Dr. Fielding. Already saw the Psychologist & Nutritionist. Will see Dr Fielding on 3/25 and hopefully will get a lapband surgery date.

I have Aetna Insurance so I hope there will be no surprises. There shouldn't be as my BMI is 42. Since I have Gallstones, he will also take out my Gallbladder.
