Noticed no one started a thread for NYC. I had my band put in with George Fielding at NYU.

Anyone else out there?

There are a bunch of us out there who've gone with Fielding... he's amazing and I am so thankful I went with him. Good luck on your journey!!!

Hello my fellow New Yorkers,

I haven't received my band as of yet however I'm in the process of completing the thousand ( smile) doctor appointments. I'am seen by Dr. Spencer Holover of the NY Bartric Center in New Hyde Park LI

Anyone have DR Ahmad?

Hi New Yorkers,

Anyone out there have surgery at Staten Island University? I was banded On April 16. The surgeons and the group are wonderful.

Has anyone used Dr. Geiss or Dr. kasmarski on Long Island? I had a consult w/ Dr. K and tomorrow I meet Dr. Geiss. I am hoping to get the surgery in June and I cannot wait!!!!!!!!

I am using Dr Geiss :fish:

I live in upstate new york and I had my procedure done at Bon Secors Hospital in Rockland y Dr. Pucci

how much have you lost? how do you feel? hoep you are doing well.

I am hopefully having surgery with Dr. Rosling in Manhattan, NY. My surgery date is not confirmed until we hear back from my insurance company Aetna EPO. Does anyone know how long it will take? I am so nervous.
