Hi-

I was banded by Christine Ren in May 2005 and two other close family members were banded by George Fielding. They are both awesome. You will be in great hands of VERY experienced lapband surgeons. They do follow-up care in satellite offices north of NYC so it can be more convenient for you than going to NYU. Feel free to pm me for further info. Best of luck in your journey!

I was banded by Dr. Fielding after doing 3 years of research (a little much, I admit!) and I couldn't be happier with my choice. He and Dr. Ren run a wonderful practice and I would be delighted to talk more about it with you off board if you like.

Good luck on your journey.

I was banded by Dr. Fielding (my friend was banded by Dr. Ren)...you could not ask for two more experienced LAP Band surgeons. Plus, they're just wonderful people...when George heard I was going to Las Vegas, he wrote down a page full of recommendations on where to eat, which clubs to go to, which shows to see. He also then took out 1 CC from my band so I wouldn't have to worry about it on vacation...told me to eat, drink and be merry!

They are very realistic about the band and how it fits in with most people's lifestyles. Fielding, in particular, because he has the band himself...he just gets it that we shouldn't obsess about all the little rules and just live our lives happily. If we lose a pound, GREAT! If we don't, it's not the end of the world, hop up on the table, and let's get you a bit tighter!

Also, Dr. Fielding has, apparently, a fantastic track record when it comes to band slippage. He really knows how to anchor that sucker in there so it won't budge! :)

You won't be disappointed with him. He loves to answer questions and his laid-back attitude is so refreshing.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
