Hello all ! :help:

I am looking for a good DR in the central Jersey area. I live near Jersey Shore Medical Center. Obviously the DR does not have to be out of there. I just am not sure where to start to look. Any help would be greatly appreciated :clap2:

Thanks

Chris

Being from central jersey, you shouldn't be too far from NYC. You should check out Dr.'s Ren and Fielding out of NYU and Dr.'s Roslin,Kurian, & Shah, out of Lennox Hill Hospital.

Both practices have been on Castle Connelly's Top Doctor's list for thier field. The NYU team has more experience with the lap band than most other practices in the country. Doesn't hurt to check into it.

Good luck!

In my opinion and during my research, I found that Dr. Michael Nusbaum (works out of St Barnabus and his office is in West Orange) is probably the best surgeon in NJ. His mortality rate is 0, his success rate is amazing and he a great doctor.

Also and I find this great, he designed/created/whatever the word is the new"standard" for performing the lapband surgery. His office staff is wonderful and I can not say enough good things about him.

I too live at the Jersey shore and found nobody in the immediate area, however, I had mine done by Dr Garth Ballantyne at Hackensack Medical Center and I was very pleased. FYI there are other good doctors at Hackensack as well

I'm going to use Dr. Chau at NJ Bariatrics in Monmouth Junction (near Princeton). The NJ Bariatrics/University Medical Center at Princeton is a Center of Excellence.

Hey all,

Has anyone heard of or have any reccomendations of theCenter for bariartrics at SOCH in Manahawkin? They are a relatively new center. They come with high credentials, so i have my first consult next week. If anyone can give me any advise or personal experience with this group, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

I met with doctor Reich, Seemed like a nice guy. Willing to help me get this done. Did you have any problems with insurance? How long from consult to actual surgery? I hope you don't mind the questions.

Don't mind the questions at all! I didn't have any problems with my insurance except they require 6 mos of nutrition counseling before surgery. I am scheduled for next Thurs and got my final approval yesterday. The office does everything for you insurancewise.

I'm going to Dr Barbalinardo (out of Dr Reich's office) - surgery date is 1/18/11 (based on aetna approval)

I agree == they are SO helpful and seem to REALLY KNOW what they're doing --- they're really trying to assure me that I'm going to be just fine with the insurance thing and all. Excited to get this done and i'm SO VERY impressed w/ this office

Hi Chris,

I would go to Dr. Morris Washington. His practice is in Holmdel and Freehold, NJ. He is a bariactric surgeon and has been one for many years. I would not go to a general surgeon. There are not too many MD's to choose from but, Dr. Washington is A+. Good luck!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
