Hi, I'm Hank and I have my sleeve scheduled for 12-04-12 with Dr. Binenbaum from Monmouth Medical Center. I am excited to start this journey and am looking to hear from anyone who has been sleeved at Monmouth, waiting to be sleeved in the area, and how you have done. Good luck to all, and can't wait to hear from you.

I am originally from the Cherry Hill area of Jersey. I've been gone for many years. Good luck!

I'm originally from Spring Lake, NJ and did some of my nursing school at Monmouth Medical Center. My surgeon also did his residency there. You're in good hands. Best of luck with your journey!

Thanks. I am excited and nervous at same time. I am hoping more people in area will comment do I can hear some more stories!!

Hi Hank- I am also from Central Jersey (exit 74). I had my surgery last week at SOCH in Manahawkin. So although I did not go to Monmouth for mine, they do have a great repuation, so I know you're in great hands! Although the hospital matters, just make sure you have the trust in the surgeon - that's where it really counts!

It's nice to hear from others in the area - good luck!

Hi!

I'm in Central NJ too but I'm having my surgery on Nov 15th at Morristown Memorial by Dr. Nusbaum. Good luck! We can all support each other as we go through this journey so close together!

I am from Middletown NJ, but I am having my surgery further north with Dr Andrei at Morristown. I love Monmouth Med Center, but my PCP prefers Dr Andrei. Good luck!

I've heard great things about the bariatric surgeries at Monmouth!!! I work at jersey shore and I'm having my surgery at soch on sept 20th!!! Only reason is because it is 100% covered!!!! I've looked into a few surgeons in our area and found dr Fresco and Reich!

Dr reich did my surgery. Love him- personable and great bed side manner. Very comforting through out the process! The office staff has. Even superb as well.

I am using Binni (as the office calls him) at Monmouth as well. I am scheduled for 9/25/12 and just had my pre adm testing done this past Fri. Getting nervous and psyched at the same time. I wish you good luck. I am happy with him so far...I am an RN so I know my docs...and how to deal with them. Hear good things about him.

One question...why not until Dec?

I am from manalapan nj but had mine done in Princeton with dr Chau. Good luck on your journey!
