"I was referred to Fairfield County Bariatrics (FCB) by my nutritionist, Nancy Murphy. One quick note about Nancy...She is well seasoned and informed about both pre and post operative bariatric nutrition. I recommend her to anyone interested in finding a good and caring nutritionist. NOW FOR FCB: Pre-op, I went to many of the informational seminars. I wanted to really know if this group was for me. I wanted to know that not only would I have a good surgeon, but one who would be there as I journeyed down the path to regain my health. Long story short? I FOUND JUST THAT! The seminars gave me the opportunity to see all 3 surgeons talk about Gastric Bypass as well as the Lap Band. I was very impressed by each speaker: Dr. Neil Floch, Dr. Craig Floch and Dr. Tim Ehrlich. They are a caring team of surgeons who have only their patients best interest and health in the forefront of their minds. It is my opinion that Fairfield County Bariatrics has THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE BARIATRIC PROGRAM in the STATE of CT! The education they offer starts from the very first seminar we are required to attend, prior to our consultation. At those seminars, they inform us about each surgical procedure and touch on the post operative experience as well, letting us know that WE are an integral part of our recovery. HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS about FCB's program...They require each patient to see a nutritionist pre-operatively and encourage us to continue that education post-operatively. They also offer regular support group meetings each month. Those support group meetings are facilitated by a psychologist who specializes in eating disorders and bariatric "recovery". Their office staff: I have to begin with their PA, Danielle who is a consummate professional with a caring heart. She is always there to answer any questions we might have. As a matter of fact, the entire office staff is always willing to help...being only a phone call away. So, for me, the decision to choose FCB as my surgical team, was a no-brainer. Top notch in my book. "
