Hi,

I enrolled today in a seminar (on feb. 13th) in NJ to get more info on the lapband. I'm very over weight and too young to be feeling this way. I'm 28 and weigh about 290 (5'5) and i really need to do something. Any advice you may be able to give would be wonderful.

Thanks

Hi Bozzj, I also live in NJ I dont know how close to Atlantic City you are, but I went to Atlantic City Medical Center and my doctors name is Alexander Onopechanco and I have to say he is great...There is also a bunch of information on there website..I would just google ACMC . About the band I am having a very slow start, but i wanted it to be a slow adjustment..Best of luck

Hi Bozzj, I got the internet address so you can further research

atlanticare.org and click the surgical weightloss and well being, and that will bring you right to the sight, also Onopchenko is the correct spelling.

I'm in South Jersey...used Dr. Goldstein...and New Beginnings program at Virtua.
