Any New Jersey Sleevers on here?

I was wondering what surgeon in Nj did you choose and how your procedure went?

Yes please.They are harder to find than doctors...

Dr. James O'Reardon 2250 Chapel Ave #100, Cherry Hill NJ 08002. Phone# 856-482-9000. Tell them you need evaluation for weight loss surgery.

Thank you!

I was just told that he is leaving the practice and they don't give evaluations for WLS

Bummer!

It stinks that he is leaving. Yes, he was the only one there that did them. I had a hard time finding him too. The contact that Dr Goldstein gave me didn't take my insurance. I will see if I can find her name for you... Maybe she takes your insurance ...

Also try www.thecenterforemotionalhealth.com. They do pre-op evals and they say they have an office in Central Jersey. Hope this helps!

I need a psych evaluation for clearance.Does anyone know of any to recommend.I am in central New Jersey.

I can go more north or south depending how far.

I would highly recommend Jeanine Miles in Marlton (856-797-4805). She performed my psych eval and has had WLS herself.

I am desperate...omg some other place quoted $350.I will call her today thanks!Will keep you posted.

Good luck ...you will be fine..

Im in Ocean County and traveling to Mexico-Tijuana for mine. Insurance standards are maddening and seems like they would rather me stay unhealthy and obese.

I have opted for revision to bypass instead of sleeveI have too much weight to lose and as damage has been done to my stomach.I am going for RNY

.My insurance is Horizon BCBS.I just finished all testing on Friday and they will submit paperwork Next week.Lets see how it goes ...will keep you posted....

I am not familiar with Mexico although I heard that there are a few very good docs.Just be careful.Good luck.Keep me posted

i went to Advanced Laproscopic in Paramus and Dr. Schmidt was my surgeon. I picked Dr. Schmidt because he seemed the most down to earth which I liked. The staff is wonderful. Hackensack Hospital had its own bariatric wing for recovery and the nurses were great. Just a very positive experience.

How was your experience with Dr Schmidt and his office. I was going threw the process and insurance changed so now I have to switch surgeons. In going to the Advanced Lap seminar at St Joe's this week.
