New York City? I can't recommend Dr. Kurian highly enough. Her website is www.nomoreobesity.com all of her contact information is on there. There is also Dr. Ren, who is supposed to be wonderful.

I also just found out that Dr. Ren in NYC will do follow up on Mexican bands as well as anyone with a Sweedish band. Exciting news as that opens up options for type of banding.

Hi Magster and Sheeanisland,
Do you know how much Dr. Rn and Dr. Fielding charge MX patients for a fill? Thanks for your help and good luck with your bands!

<p>I have been seeing Dr. Shah at Lenox Hill. All of the pre op stuff has been great. Just the usual insurance nonsense. My surgery is Monday 10/22...Wish me luck!</

<p>In researching my choice of Dr. Ren at NYU for my surgery, Jan.21, they told me that sometimes insurance doesn't cover fills, and that her charge is $100 each time.</p>
Dr. Kurian is now at NYU Medical Center as well.

If you can make it out to Syosset, Long Island ( not even an hours drive from Manhattan ) I highly recommend Dr.Alan Geiss at North Shore Long Island Jewish in Syosset. He banded me a month ago, and I'm down 22 pounds. The man is an artist and a pioneer. The hospital, his office, his staff, and support team is nothing but fantastic. This was my first surgery ever, and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. See his site at Laparoscopic Surgery in Long Island – LAP BAND® Surgery for the New York Area . P.S. This hospital is a smaller specialty type setting, specifically geared towards bariatric surgery. I give it 5 stars!!! Please let me know if you contact them! Frank
