So, last year I finally convinced myself that I wanted to have WLS... I originally wanted LapBand until I learned about the sleeve. I found a surgeon, found out my insurance didn't cover wls, and had to change insurance. Now, I'm covered and ready to go. But, now after being sure of who my surgeon was going to be, I want to SURGEON SHOP! The one that I was going with is at a Center of Excellence and seemed great, but I feel like I can never be too sure. Sometimes those seminars seem too much like a sales pitch. Does anyone know where I can find reviews and comments about surgeons in NJ??? How many surgeons did you visit before you actually had surgery??? Help me!

I don't live in NJ so i cant recommend locally.but I can tell you I went thrOugh 4 surgeons and walked out of an appointment with one before I found the current one. What sold me is he kept it real with me. Told me his suggestions, educated me and didn't shove a procedure down my throat. I felt comfortable and at ease. Took me 3 years to get to this point. Good luck and congrats on your decision to start the process.
