Hi Trentchuck,

I had my lapband done at University of Penn in Philly, Dr. Noel Williams and his team aresecond to none. I can't say enough about them. Check out the web site for the hospital, you can read about him and his team. Good luck with your search and journey!

I live near you and chose to use Dr. Mehta in New Brunswick, surgery was at Somerset Medical Center. It takes me about an hour to get to his office and he has a great support group as well as wonderful office staff. I'm not sure how many people he's banded as of right now. As of my surgery he has yet to loose anyone, including bypass patients. If you google Mehta Bariatric Center you'll be able to find him.

If you're willing to travel to NYU, Dr. Fielding is a pioneer and after having surgery with him two weeks ago I can tell you that I am most satisfied with the service there. Their staff is so helpful and informative and they cover EVERY step for you to make the process easy. He has an excellent success rate and an excellent rate of people NOT having slipped bands. You should check him out. Google NYU program for surgical weight loss. Good luck!!

I don't know where your town is in NJ but if it's anywhere closer to the Delaware side then the Delmarva Bariatric Center is absolutely wonderful. They have a great program with awesome results. They have offices in Delaware and Maryland. Just tossing that out there in case you are close enough to consider it.

Where are you looking to go??? Are you going thru insurance? Self pay?? All these things should be considered when looking at having this surgery.... plus the experience of the surgeon.

Take care and best wishes

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

      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! 😞
