Hi All,

I recently moved from Australia to New York. I have been banded almost 2 years and am wayyyyy overdue for a fill, and generally need to have the band's condition looked at (I havent lost weight recently at all)

Two questions:

a) Does anyone know any reliable fill doctors in Manhattan who might accept foreign patients/patients banded elsewhere.

:redface: Does anyone have any experience with Fill Doctors USA who can shed some light on whether seeing them is a good idea? Also, insight on whether it might be a good idea to visit the new center "under training" in Manhattan would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Ooooops. Can a moderator move this to the fill doctor section? I'm sorry.

hi teee.... try dr. fielding at new york university. he's an aussie and i've heard rumor that he'll perform fills on folks we didn't operate on. also, try dr. mitchell roslin at lennox hill hospital. he was my surgeon and i'm sure he's also helped folks who didn't start out as his patients. good luck!

I was banded in MX and am going to NYU for a fill next week. Fielding, Ren and Kurian take patients banded elsewhere.

How do you know when you need a fill???

Dear Teee: I'm responding to your post of 4/10/08. It was awhile ago, but I came across it when I was surfing the site. Were you ever able to find a fill doctor in Manhattan? If so, could you let me know who? I need a Manhattan fill doctor also. Thanks. ilene62
