I know he has a few offices outside NYC but I didn't think White Plains was one of them...I can't find anything stating exactly where his offices are on Google. Anyone else have some enlightenment?

Do a forum search instead of a google search. Use the advance search link. It is ABOVE the google search on the upper right portion of the forum page.

You can enter his name and then highlight "doctors and hospitals" and results will come up.

I was banded by Dr. Fielding on 1/25/08. I have two family members (one the band and the other the bypass) both done by him. His office is nuts and ALWAYS busy, But the care is great and you are in great hands with him. I would go back to him in a NY minute. His office is on the 10th Floor at NYU Med center. ( 1st and 33rd or there abouts)

I really want to stay in Westchester, unfortunately...I need somewhere that's more accessible to me. I hate the thought of having to go to the city all the time for appointments :confused:

Dr. Fielding and Co. have satellite offices in Westchester County (White Plains).

Here's a link: Gastric Stapling, Lap Banding - Directions to the Center - New York University Surgical Weight Loss Program

I was banded by Dr. Kurian who is the newest additon to the NYU group. I have been nothing but impressed with the staff at NYU.

Good luck!!

Thank you for the link! I spoke with someone who used Dr. Weber and was very disappointed with his office and couldn't in good conscience recommend him for me. I haven't sent the appointment deposit money yet so I'm going to contact Dr. Fielding's office and see what I can do.

Thank you!

I think you're on the right track now. I'm glad I referred you over to the NY banders group and suggested Dr. Fielding's group. I've read so many good things on the forum about him.

And how lucky for you they have an office near you!

Hi, nice to hear from fellow Westchester Residents. I live in Yorktown and am now in the process of trying to get approval to have Dr Fielding do my surgery. I will be going for the psy evaluation in two weeks. I'd love to hear more about your experiences! Thanks!

I live in Queens. I was banded in Jan 2008 by Dr. M Kurian at NYU. I feel great and I am loving life.

ChikFlik: I was banded by Dr. Kurian just 3 days after you! Don't you just love her?!

Its nice to see so many of us here. I'm a little confused on the process and hoping for some guidance on the NYU staff as wll. I'm not sure which dr to use and I'm lost as to the next steps to expect.

I've been to the seminar, have an appointment with my general practitioner to get a referral letter and have the appointment with the psychologist next week. Provided that he approves me I'm not sure what happens next. Is there a bunch of tests I need to have done? I see alot of talk about pre-op liquid diets here but don't remember hearing anything about it at the seminar.

I'm a self pay - if that helps?

Thanks!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
