I had Dr Ren back in March 2004 - she was great - you didnt really see her too much - that was right before they had there big BOOM - but I did have good experiences with her staff. I never met Dr Fielding but I heard from others he's agreat man. Good luck!! :)

hi everyone,

just got back from my appointment with dr. kurian. this is my second time at the NYU office and everything has been smooth sailing. (haven't had to wait at all for either appointment.)

met with dr. kurian (who is lovely) and we set a surgery date for august 14th. my esophogram is next week and the pre-op tests are on the 7th.

everyone seemed fine -- nilsa (the surgical coordinator) was v. together. we'll submit to my insurance for pre-certification next week and go from there.

yay!

hi i was banded on july 14th 2008 @ nyu by Dr. ren i just got my 1st fill on friday 4cc's i still feel kind of hungry is that normal im nervous that this will not work how many cc's can be put in the band or when should i start feeling full with a few bites i can eat a cup of food with no problem any advice!!!

girlinnyc · 08-20-2008, 07:13 AM

go back right away and tell them how you're feeling. they'll probably put a little more fill in the band. if you're hungry--it's not exactly right yet.
good luck!
