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.

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 agree they really treat you so well and all are so helpful

Hi All...Im originally from Monmouth Cty, but live in Union Cty now..My surgery date is 12/3, and like most pre sleevers im excited and nervous, but ready. My surgeon is Dr Abhkin and it will be done @ JFK in Edison. All I have left to do js bloodwork and my Nut Consult... Had EDG 2 wks ago and it went well...it was my first time ever being "under", and it was the best sleep ever...lol.... God Bless you all and best wishes to you!

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.

Hi... We have the same surgeon! I am having the sleeve done on 12/3!

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!

Yes, he seems really nice and I love his staff in the Edison location. Yeah, mine will be done @JFK.. Im nervous, but ready.

Does he actually have an office in Edison? I have been going to Florham Park.

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.

Cool I'm interested!!

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

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.

Cool I'm interested!!

I sent you a private message. The stuff is all yours!

His office is in florham park but he uses Morristown memorial hospital
