Has anyone had a consultation and surgery using NJ Bariatric?

What was your starting weight?

Frustrated but a firm believer that things happen for a resson. After calling around and trying to figure things through this obstacle, came to the conclusion that I will go to another Dr. Which means new consultation date. ..but took a while to research the insurance I have and honestly don't want to simply get rid of it because the Dr. I initially wanted no longer works with it. Inhale exhale #notgivingup

I just txt my god child's mom because she went to the same Dr. I'll be seeing, she said no disrobing! Yayyy lol Def be able to sneak an ankle weight or two in. Lol count down

Lol seems crazy but hey Idk I'm paranoid so now I'm at the conclusion 2lb ankle weights it is per ankle lol

Lol sheesh I was only going for the 2lb weight per ankle lol....

I love him that's my problem now lol don't want to switch from him because of my insurance. His requirements are really based upon your insurance requirements, but Cardiologist, pulmonary, radiology to check gall stones and hernia, psych eval., nutritionist the nutritionist there is amazing love her personality! All in all great team!

Ok, so my consultation is on the 13th of March with Dr.Neff. My bmi is exactly at the borderline, 4'11 and 199lbs. Of course my fear is my bmi dropping one pound under. So was wondering should I just go ahead and do my blood work now to test for diabetes, and do a sleep study test all before my consultation? ...Guess I'm just a tad bit to say the least anxious, worried, and scared not of surgery but of denial of surgery.

Lol enjoy your shopping!

I wanted to comment on your statement of, " not so fat" smh people tell me that all the time and say o you shouldn't do the surgery just exercise. Which pisses me off I do exercise but having hypo thyroids is so hard so hard to lose weight. I need a tool that can help me stick my toe in the door then I'll bum rush my way in lol . Here's me now just getting my appointments in order hoping for a may date...

Lol o crap really hope my feet don't lose to much weight. I was a 6.5 then with the weight gain a 7 and that has to be 7 wide with. I got at least 6 new pair of shoes at size 7. Just figured before the weight gain I was 6.5 so a 7 even if I lose should still..I'm praying fit. Got these killer Coach wedge sneakers Omg lol

So just got back from consultation and I'm beyond happy loved loved my dr. And his staff amazing!!!! Now it's time to begin making my dr appointments.

...did anyone lose a shoe size in losing weight in general?
