Marina Kurian, M.D. My first impression of Dr. Kurian was wow she is young. (lol) Off the back I liked her. When she first meet me she told me wow look at that big smile you have. She sat down with me and my mother and told us everything we needed to know about the surgery. She even asked personal questions to get to know what type of person I was. She was very genuine and treated me more than just another patient. On the day of surgery she came in my prep room and chatted with my family and I. We spoke about cruises and places wev'e traveled to before. We laughed and shared each other stories. You would think that I was not about to have surgery any minute. When I first went to the center I had three doctors to pick from. I ask the receptionist which one had the closest date and she told me Dr. Kurian, so I decided to go with her. My mom wanted me to go with the most popular surgeon but I told her all three surgeons were good. I had a gut feeling about Dr. Kurian and even though I had to reschedule my surgery and had the opportunity to pick a different surgeon and decided to stick with Dr. Kurian again. I just knew she was the right person for the job and I was right. She is wonderful and I have no regrets picking her or doing the surgery. Thanks Dr. Kurian. You’re the Best!!!
P.S. The only problem I had at NYUMC was the coordinator NILSA. That woman is the worst and I plan on writing a long letter about her horriable service. She is the worst and needs to learn how to do her job better.

5/23/08 FIRST FILL Well guys I got my first fill and it was great. I love my Doctor so much. The whole experience was 1-2-3 with no pain. She showed me where my port was and the first time I felt it. During my appt all I kept saying was how in the world is she going to find this thing. Ive search my whole entire stomach and could never find it and she found it in sec. Well I gain 1 pd but she told me that is normal. To be honest it didnt even bother me that I gain 1 pd. I still feel great and my clothes are still getting loose on me each day. Before I got my fill I told my doc that I dont want the usual fill amount. I explain to her that I want to go slow and take this whole thing one day at a time. I am not in no rush to melt my weight away (even though thats the case). She was so please with my attitude that she gave me a small fill. (2.4). When she check to see if anything was in my band she said 0.8 was already in there and when she add the 2.4 it would be up to 3.2 which was fine with me. I didnt feel too much of a difference which was good. I dont ever want to exp a too tight fill. Ive heard stories and believe u me they were not cute. My holiday weekend was great. I bought me a SUV for a great price and im very happy about that. I just found out that my job is partners with GM and anyone who buys a car get $1,000 rebate back. (Yeppy) That is music to my ears. All I can say is GOD is good. I feel like GOD has been blessing me more often then ever now. Life is so good and im so thankful for all the blessings. I thank him everyday for giving me a second chance at life. Well thats it for now. Until I post again be safe.

Congrats on your success. I had my 3rd fill on Tuesday and only got .5cc....I think your Dr was being aggressive with a 2.4 cc, with my first 2 fills I was given 1cc each time.....
