Recommendations: Doctors in North NJ?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, it's nice to make your acquaintance.

I'm in Little Falls and seriously considering this procedure. Could someone point me to a surgeon in my neck of the woods that they have a good experience with? Lets say within a 15 mile radius around where Route 3 meets 46. I would prefer not to go into the City if it can be helped. Extra points for taking United Health Care.

All advice is gratefully appreciated:smile:!

I used Dr. Nusbaum in Livingston. I have only great things to say about him and his staff - I was banded on Tuesday, 6/24 and I am doing fine. Best of luck with your search! MM

Hi Marko,

Dr. Garth Ballantyne in Hackensack, he's the head of bariatric surgery there, very well known and very nice. Hackensack is a great hospital. His staff is great too.

Good Luck !!!!

I got banded on July 7, and I used Dr. Edward Pucci in Denville. The group is Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeons Of New Jersey. They were excellent and I am pretty sure they have a few locations.

Hi, I'm using Dr. Beth Schrope, she is located in Ridgewood and they take UHC. I am scheduled for 12/23, she was very personable and the staff is great. They are very on top of everything and helpful, with all of my questions and concerns they were always there with an answer.

Belated thanks to all for your responses. I got derailed from this after I first posted, but now I am back on track with Dr. Nusbaum, aiming for an early February date. Again, thanks for all your help!

Not North Jersey but if there is anyone looking for a physician in the Central Jersey (Princeton) area, I used Dr. Chau from NJ Bariatrics Group. He was and is great!

      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... :(
