I had my first appointment yesterday with my surgeon. Dr. Iqbal in Vineland, NJ. He's a very wonderful guy. Per my insurance I need to have 3 nutrition appointments, 3 support group meetings, a psych eval, blood work, and a letter from my doctor. I can only have one nutrition and support meeting a month so this will take at least 3 months. I'm so nervous but so ready for this to be here. I've already scheduled everything and I'm getting blood work done asap. I also have to have a sleep study done on 11/22. Any others in NJ starting out? Let's be each other's support.

Hello, my name is Nancy and I started this journey at 3:30 on October 28th but I am Texas. Maybe we can stay in touch because my pre-op schedule is a lot like yours...I am excited but a little nervous especially all the Protein we will need and I hate the taste...other than that I just hope and pray it helps me

Hey Jersey folks!! I'm from Jersey City and my surgeon will be Dr Buwen from NJ Bariatric Center. I started this whole process on Sep 28 and my tentative surgery date is Jan 6. I've completed all my insurance requirements and am so ready for the big day!

Good rainy afternoon from Jersey all..... 13 days post op and feeling pretty good. Down 16 pounds since surgery date. Feels good.

I didn't lose much on pre op so I'm not even going to include that.

Wishing everyone much success
