Hi Coffecup,

I'm not banded yet, (waiting on insurance approval), but I use South Jersry Bariatrics. I have doctor Wasser and he has been great so far. They have a website, you should check it out. WWW.southjerseybariatrics.com. They are located in Willingboro. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message.

On Steff's advice (among others) I'm using South Jersey Bariatrics as well. Called last Monday and had an appointment with Dr. Ing on Friday. I've looked into several programs and had consultations with a few surgeon's in PA and NJ. SJB is my final choice.

More of central Jersey, but I used Dr. Mehta in New Brunswick, NJ. I was banded 9/10/07 and absolutely love him, it's well worth the drive. www.mehtabariatriccenter.com His office staff is amazing, friendly and very supportive of WLS, the 2 women also are patients of his at/or near goal.

I was banded Aug 5th by Dr. Balsama in Stratford NJ Kennedy Health

he was awesome and the whole staff and everyone I had to deal with was just great.

Hi! I, too, used South Jersey Bariatrics. I had my surgery in October 2006 by Dr. Wasser. He also removed my gallbladder in September 2007. I feel like I couldn't be in better hands! Both he and Dr. Ing are just wonderful, caring doctors. Come to one of our orientation meetings - the first Monday of the month, 6:00 pm, at Lourdes Medical Center, Willingboro, NJ just off of of 295N, exit 47B. All three surgeons in the group are there (Dr. Greenbaum doesn't do lapband) and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
