I will be in New York March 17th and want a fill done then. Can someone recommend where to have it done. I will be on vacation from Ireland and I want to coincide my vacation with my fill to save me from taking more time off work.

Here is a list of Lap Band surgeons in the New York area. You will have to contact them to find out if they do fills on those that aren't their patients.

where in ny will you be? in the city? or upstate?

I will be in Yonkers. Has anyone got an idea of the cost? I presume it would be a good idea to bring exrays of the ports location.

I know Christine Ren performs fills on other surgeons patients and I've heard very good things about her.

i am one of dr ren's patients and i know that they do take other surgeons' patients some times. check out http://thinforlife.med.nyu.edu for her contact info.

I can have a fill in Long Island but they want $350!!!!!! Good Lord! Thats for the initial fill then its 150 after that. I'll only be getting it done the once in the country. How much does she charge?

Anna

Anna,

If you are going to be in Manhattan, I can recommend my dr - Dr. Kurian. I am not sure if she does other patients or what she charges, but she is a wonderful dr.

WOW thats a lot. Can I ask who quoted that price to you?

It is with Dory Ferraro. She is in Manhattan also.

Hi Anna, I live right next to Yonkers and my doctor is in Dobbs Ferry. He charges 100 or 150. His name is Dr. Artuso at Dobbs Ferry Community Hospital, just one exit on the Saw Mill from Yonkers.

My family is from Co. Galway. Good luck!

I think but am not sure I sourced Dr Artusso and I'm certain the price was near to that too. The problem is getting over the initial fee. Do you think you could get me Dr Artussos number?
