Hi! I'm new here. I had started the process 2 years ago with Dr. Nusbaum. I was approved and at the same time found out I was pregnant with my 3rd baby. Surprise! So obviously I had to postpone my WLS plans. Fast forward to last month. I went back to Nusbaum, nutritionist, psych eval, they were all ready to submit me and then they realized they don't take new insurance. I'm so upset about this set back but I've done my research and it's lead me to Advanced laperscopic assoc in Paramus. It looks likes they are in my plan tier 1 and I should be good. I'm going this Weds for the seminar. Hopefully I won't have to start completely from

Scratch. Im mentally ready to get a move on it and don't want to wait and get nervous. Anyone use Dr. Ewing? Or Dr. Schmidt or Dr. Trivedi? Surgery would be done at Hackensack University. Any feedback would be great

Romi there is a group on FB for spring sleevers you should join it. Friend Alea Birbeck on FB and send her a private message to add you to the group. It's a secret group so no 1 can see but it's great support.

Just follow their instructions and you'll do great!

Yes Catarina was my surgical coordinator. She was great as was everyone in the office. Marty the nutritionalist is also great. All I can say is I understand the nerves I postponed my surgery once because I was chicken. Looking back wish I would have done it years ago. Since my surgery 4 friend have had 2 with dr Ewing we are all doing great. Best advise is follow the dr orders they work. Good luck and let me know how it goes

Thanks so much. I'm all set and ready to go now. My insurance approved me! now I just wait until she calls me the night before to tell me what time to arrive.
