Does anyone have any doctors in NJ that they would recommend? I have already gone to 2 info seminars by 2 different doctors but I am still looking to talk to a few others. If anyone has any info that would be great. thanks!!!

I am seeing Dr. Manigat in Voorhees, New Jersey. Is info is on obsesityhelp.com and a friend of mine is seeing Dr. Patel and is schedule in September. I am borderline for approval so I don't know if I will be able to have surgery. There are testimonials and info regarding both doctors on obesityhelp.com Good Luck. I only met with my Dr. once for first intake. He doesn't really get involved with patients until approval but the office personnel is great. A friend of mine had gastric with him a few years back and swears by him. We'll see.

I have been approved for surgery on 9/4/2007 with Dr Abkin in Florham Park, NJ. He also works with Dr Bertha. So far, so good!

I have yet to have lap-band, my surgery date is Aug. 20, 2008. But I'm with Endo-Surgical Assoc. in Freehold, NJ. So far things have gone smoothly. I did a few classes they offered and my insurance accepted.
