Best NJ doctors list? And why?



Recommended Posts

where in NJ are you from or are looking in? i went to NJ Bariatric Center which has 3 locations: hoboken, springfield, & somerset. there are 4 surgeons who rotate among the 3 offices. i went to dr. angela jack glassnap and she was AMAZING! i've had such a smooth recovery (9 weeks out today, as a matter of fact!). she is currently on maternity leave until december, but her colleagues are also wonderful. i would highly recommend them, and her specifically if you are just starting the process and aren't looking for a 2014 surgery date. check out their website: http://www.njbariatriccenter.com/

in any case, good luck!

I am in North Jersey. I go to Dr. Gritsus, he has a office in Paramus and Pequannock. He did my lapband in 2010. I had my lapband removed in May 2014. On 9/3/14 I will be having the sleeve done.

Dr Karl Strom and his group. They operate out of Holmdel or Manahawkin! Office staff the best!

Annah,

I'm going to use Garden State Bariatrics (Millburn), Dr Yurcisin. I met with him a year ago, then talked myself out of it (kicking myself) and met with him again just yesterday. I'm going for the sleeve as well. My Primary Doc recommended him & my wife works in one of the hospitals he's affiliated, so she has an inside scoop on who to see and who NOT to see in that hospital. Good luck with who ever you choose.

Yes, Yurcisin is Bilof's partner, I think they are the only two doctors there, they also have an office I think in Bayville by the shore.

I am using NJ Bariatric Center, Dr Goya and Dr Montes. I was recommended there by my PCP. They have been wonderful during the pre-op process. What impresses me most is that they take the time to sit and answer any questions. No rush, no attitude.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
