Hi - I was banded on 7/17 by Dr. Rumbaut in Mexico, and am following up with Dr. Fielding at NYU. I have had 2 fills, 2.5 cc and am not doing well at all. With the first fill of 1.5cc I didn't have any restriction, and with the second fill of 1 cc just 5 days later I had great initial restriction, but it quickly wore off. I'm back to overeating after feeling discouraged because I have lost only a little weight.

I feel a nutritionist who has worked with lapband patients could be very helpful to me and would prefer to go here, in Westchester, rather than NYC. However, I will consider anyone in the tri-state area. The nutritionist in Dr. Fielding's office seems a little on the young side to me. I'm wondering whether anyone can recommend an experienced, excellent nutritionist. Many thanks.

hi i am not sure how far out of NY you would want to travel but the nutritionist i saw for my consult was very nice and works with many weight loss surgery patients. her name is donna yannacone and she is located in clifton NJ phone is 973-773-8020. i plan on going back to her after i have my band.
