I'm from New Jersey. Actually southern New Jersey. I had my lapband done by Dr. Goldstein out of Virtua in Marlton, NJ. Great doctor, great nurses, great experience. I would recommend them to anybody!

LauraJean,

Just noticed you're from Manahawkin, that's so close to me! I'm in Southampton (straight down Route 72.) We're actually heading to Makoto in Stafford Township (I think that's very close to Manahawkin) this evening. Initially I lost 70 pounds, now I'm trying to lose another 54. I love the band!

I LIVE IN SEASIDE HTS,I HAD MY SURGERY IN MANAHAWKIN.I REALLY DONT KNOW THAT AREA OTHER THEN THE HOSPITAL.BUT I HAVE A GREAT TEAM OF DOCTORS.I GO FOR A CHECKUP ON WED AND HAVE MY FIRST FILL ON THE 28TH

Holla! lol NJ here, from Monmouth but currently at Rutgers U.

- Had surgery at NYU (in nyc) by Dr. Fielding

North Jersey here! Banded at Chilton Hospital by Dr. Gritsus on November 2010.

From North Jersey as well. Being banded in May. Dr. Strom is my surgeon out of Mountainside Hospital. I had a friend that went to him. Wish I could get banded sooner, but have to do the 6 months of nutrition visits.

Kristen...are you from the Monclair area? I live in West Milford near Rt. 23. Good luck with your surgery...its all worth it!

dr srom is a excellent doctor,he was going to do my surgery,but another member of his team(dr.reich)did my surgery.you will be in good hands

I'm actually from Dover so not far from you. I also picked Dr. Strom because I was able to make a consult appt. with him right away and didn't have to go to a seminar. He's not the closest to me, but I wanted to get started with my journey as soon as possible.

Laurajean- it's really good to hear. I had a friend that had her surgery by Dr. Strom in November and me and a friend are both having our done in May.

I'm also from North Jersey, I had my surgery by Dr. Nussbaum at Morristown Memorial. I was banded 12/16/08.

North Jersey here too! I had Dr. Strom too. I mainly see Dr. Fresco, she's wonderful!

I am brand new to this site. This is my first post. I am scheduled to be banded in March or April by Dr. Nusbaum in Morristown - although I live in Monmouth county. I am hoping for great results - I need them!

Jersey here too. With my insurance I only had a choice between Morristown or Egg Harbor. I chose Dr. Onopchenko in Egg Harbor (hospital right in the middle of AC). Very happy with him and his team even though its an 1-1/2 hr drive each way. Really wanted someone close by in Central Jersey but had to go with who the insurance company would cover.

Just banded on 2-9 and had my first revisit with him yesterday. My first fill date is scheduled for March 16th.
