I'm in Union County, but was also banded in Oct 2008 and I know what you mean about staying on track.

Went for a fill this morning and they said that my pouch was just starting to stretch so I have to get back to measuring my food and watching the drinking before I really stretch it.

Where in Bergen County are you?

Hi Im from Passaic County. I haven't gotten the band yet. I'm approved by the insurance company and all just really scared and not sure whats best for me. I could use some people to talk to I'm willing to help you through.

It is absolutely worth it. Definately changed my life. I'm not always on this site like I should be but I do find it helpful. My band has taught me that food is really not that important. I still eat everything except beef and bread. Just have to make sure you eat slowly or you will have nasty consequences. Reach out anytime you like. My email is JER33N3@yahoo.com

Hi,

Band-er to be in Northern NJ wondering which Dr. you went with and if you were pleased with his or her staff?

I am leaning toward Dr. Davis in Ridgewood, but would welcome any input.

Thanks!

I used Dr. Nusbaum in Livingston. He and his staff to say the least are wonderful. His number is 973-322-7977.
