Dr. George Fielding - Dr. Fielding anyone?



Recommended Posts

I'm going to "Learn to Eat with George" on March 15th in New York City, is anyone else going?

This is the first time I'm going so I don't know exactly what happens but I'm assuming Dr. Fielding has dinner with those patients that are willing to pay $50.00 a head and teach them how to eat?!

So let me know, I'd love to meet those of you that were banded by Dr. Fielding. :)

How do I sign up? Can I go even though I am not his patient?

I met him twice and I have read a lot about him....

I don't know, you have to call his office and find out. Speak to Beth Abrams at 212-263-3237 or e-mail her at beth.abrams@med.nyu.edu.

I hope you can come! :)

Unfortunately, I can't go to the March dinner, but I do want to go in April. Dr. Fielding was the perfect doc for me: straight forward, no handholding, and a dry sense of humor...he's been such a delight, and I'm sorry I'm going to miss "Dinner with George"....let us know how the first dinner goes!

you can always visit his and Dr. Ren, and Dr. Kurian's website for info on what they do there. There are support groups too and they don't ask who banded you.

NYU Thin For Life is the website address.

listen to George he is the best we were sorry to see him leave Aus but he Trained a super Dr here in Aus calee Blair Bowden so if you can't see George make sure that the Dr you do see has been trained by him as you know that you will be in very safe hands

Georges talks are very down to earth easy to understand and he talks in our language not all medical gobble

enjoy and have a great evening

Hi -- I go to Dr. Fielding/Ren's office for Fills! I come from Philly, but it's worth the trek for me. So far, I have gone to almost everyone in the office (except Dr. Fielding) and they are so fabulous! I feel next to nothing, it's fast, and they sure know what they're doing! I had the surgery done

Question for the original OPer: This is March 15?? Isn't that a Sat evening? If so, I will DEFINITELY be there!

Best, Danielle

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
