Please recommend an NYC dietician!

An acquaintance of mine is in the early stages of considering WLS. First, he wants to consult a nutritionist about his eating (to see if he can lose weight without the surgery, and to start his 6-month insurance-mandated diet right away just in case). His PCP referred him to a dietician who insisted he become a vegan, and otherwise wasn't very helpful. Can anyone recommend a nutritionist in Manhattan who is experienced at working with severely obese patients?

I used a nutritionist in SoHo. If you like, I will ask her if I can give you her # and e-mail address. Send me an e-mail if you are interested. She at the time, worked with my WLS surgeon and was terrific.

I can give you the name of one nutritionist who is also a chiropractor and is affiliated with the best endocrinologist (pro WLS) I ever met. Email me privately for details. Susan in NYC
