Dr. Marina Kurian
We’re led in this endeavor by Dr. Marina Kurian, a New York native who specializes in the treatment of patients suffering from obesity and its related health issues. Dr. Kurian’s goal: to help each patient achieve their individual weight-loss and wellness goals while encouraging an environment of warmth and caring that’s evident in everything we do.
Dr. Kurian’s work on behalf of her patients extends beyond the NYMIS offices. She is an innovator and a thought leader in her field. She works closely with and educates other surgeons and remains a widely published and sought-after speaker on bariatric and minimally invasive surgery. Dr. Kurian wrote the authoritative guide to bariatric surgery, Weight Loss for Dummies, that includes a forward her patient Al Roker. She also hosts a weekly radio show on SiriusXM.
In addition, Dr. Kurian was a principal investigator into the use of adjustable bands for the treatment of morbid obesity. She was also a co-investigator regarding the use of vagus nerve stimulation for the treatment of obesity.

With Dr. Kurian leading the team, we work to make sure you’ll always feel welcome and cared for at New York Minimally Invasive Surgery. We know that making the decision to undergo surgery — elective or otherwise — can be an overwhelming experience. There are so many options — along with so many concerns!
We understand. And we want you to know that our experience and our expertise in the matters of weight-loss surgery, general surgery, nutrition, diet, and exercise will be brought to bear as we make decisions regarding the proper course of your care.

A Healthier You
Our caring and compassionate staff will keep you informed of your options and what to expect. We will guide you step by step toward a healthier — and more importantly, sustainable — future of wellness and wellbeing.
After all, losing weight is one thing. Undergoing minimally invasive surgery to assist you in your weight-loss goals is another. And a further challenge is maintaining a healthier lifestyle post-surgery.
This post-surgery process is crucial. It helps ensure that not only will you achieve those long-sought-after weight-loss goals but that you’ll keep the weight off and begin maintaining healthier habits regarding diet and exercise.
You can do this. Those of us at New York Minimally Invasive Surgery are dedicated to helping you. It’s what we do — and it’s why we do what we do.
In other words, we focus all our efforts on results and on the happiness and satisfaction of our patients. We want you to live a long and healthy life, and we’re excited to begin this journey with you.

Consultations: Pre-Op and Post-Op
Our process is proven. You’ll receive a consultation, and we’ll discuss with you the options you have for bariatric surgery (gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, lap band, and many more).
Our success is defined by our patients, and our patients’ success is in great part defined by our high-quality post-op follow-up consultation. During those meetings, we’ll emphasize ways to accelerate recovery and we’ll advise our patients of additional resources that are designed to assist them in continuing to make smart and healthy choices.
As your partner on this wellness journey, we’ll be your go-to resource both before and after your specific course of treatment (i.e., whether it’s a surgical procedure or not). Think of NYMIS as your personal wellness guide from start to finish.
Our Process
Every patient and every patient’s situation is unique. We will devise a customized course of action and treatment that works best for you. However, there are some initial steps that we need to get things started. This brief outline covers the basics that apply to all of our patients.
- Sign up for an in-person seminar or take the seminar online right now.
- Contact an office that’s convenient to you in order to schedule an appointment with Dr. Kurian.
- Discuss with us any insurance coverage you have, and we’ll see if any of our services are covered.
- Talk to us about financing options that may help with acquiring the level of care that you need to rid yourself of obesity and obesity-related health issues.
- Schedule your treatment or surgery.
As we said, each patient is different — not just in the medical details, such as body mass index, but in their specific health needs and in their ability to engage in sustained physical activity. This means that New York Minimally Invasive Surgery will work with you to craft a customized program of health and wellness.
