Hi all in the NYC area! I have recently reached my goal weight after 15 months being banded, and wanted to recommend my surgeon to anyone in the NYC area. His name is Dr. Marc Bessler and he is at Columbia University Medical Center. He is simply an expert in bariatric surgery, and extremely honest with patients. His administrative office team is extremely efficent with the insurance process and will guide you along the way to make sure you have met all requirements prior to submission. His NP, Eileen, and RD, Nancy will prepare you with the tools you need pre and post band. While Columbia isn't in the most convenient location, it will be well worth it!
