Just the regular visits with irina I didn't have any other pre op diet like I've seen on here

OK Great! I was nervous about the pre-op diet... I mean if I had to do one I would but I just wouldn't be so happy about it! I love Irina... I think the service that Dr Chau's office provides with the nut visits at no cost to you is awesome!

I have leftover Isopure bottles if anyone wants them. I am in Middlesex county. They are free. Send me a message if you want them. I bought them on Amazo n as a full case so I can't return the bottles I didn't use.

Hi everyone. My name is Jen. I live in Clark, NJ and I am considering a revision from lap band to the sleeve. My surgeon is Dr Abkin. My band has slipped after 4 years and I also need to get my gall bladder out because I have gallstones. My gall bladder surgery is 10/9 and I need to decide before this Friday whether I am going to go through with the sleeve because I can get my band taken out at the same time as my gall bladder and avoid an extra surgery. After that I will have to wait about 6 weeks for the sleeve. My Dr says it would be the perfect time to do the revision because there is a failure with the band and insurance would have to cover the surgery. I'm really nervous about getting my band removed and having to wait 6 weeks for the surgery and I'm also afraid that I will get my band removed and then for some reason insurance won't cover the revision to the sleeve.That would be a nightmare! Has anyone had a revision after a band slip and had any problems with insurance? I have Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Tsmyle, Dr Abkin is great! I just scheduled my surgery for Dec 10 at Morristown! I would have liked to go to JFK because it's a little closer but he was booked there until after the new year and I want to get the surgery done ASAP. Good luck with your surgery!

He sees patients in Edison. I actually saw him in Plainfield at Muhlenburg for my consultation, but the office move to James St in Edison, right across the street from JFK.

Hi I'm having surgery with dr Abkin on oct 15 in Morristown

[jbart0973 19]

Wow I didn't know he saw patients there. I had just heard recently that he was operating out of JFK. I think I will check into that for future appointments.
