Philly here too! Why Edison NJ? If you don't mind my asking!! I had mine done at Barix in Langhorn and the place was great!!

I wish I could of had it done at Langhorne Barix! I live minutes from there. They didn't accept my insurance. I had to find an in network dr and Edison was the closest!!

Sorry to hear that but I am sure you are in good hands! Barix was great but I really have nothing to compare it too, lol!! It is a great gift you are giving yourself. Best thing I have ever done. You will do great!!!!

Another Harrisburg person! Awesome!! How do you feel??

Wow, it's great to see so many Harrisburg people! I live north of Harrisburg, but I think it still counts.

I had Dr. Prashar and I really could not be happier. Best decision I've ever made.

I feel good, down about 30 lbs. and am very happy I had the surgery (I had a band first). How about you?

I also had Dr Prashar he's great!!!
