I'm new to this and am thinking about getting the Lap Band, but I'm very nervous. I have two young children.

I'm looking into to DR ABKIN. Anyword on him?

I'm hoping to attend a seminar this month

I used Dr Abkin and I reccomend him 110% I had my surgery on April 18, 2005 everything went well, his followup care as well as his office staff are wonderful.

I am down 90 lbs to date and have had 2 fills, the last one being last Thursday with Dr bertha his partner, he is awesome as well.

If you are interested I'd be more than happy to talk to you about him in more detail over the phone, just private message me and I'll give you my #.

There is a support group meeting the last Wednesday of the month held at his offices in Florham Park, come along.... everyone is welcome..

I too have 2 young children at the time of my surgery they were 3 1/2 and 1 1/2, it was a hard decision to make but I know I made the right one, I am a healthier mom because of it.

Hi Chels!!! WELCOME

Hi Chellseabelle! I'm another happy Abkin/Bertha fan, and agree with Alexra that you should come to the support meeting. It's a great way to meet other bandsters, ask all the questions you have and get real answers right there.

Hi-

I had Dr. Abkin as my doctor, he was wonderful. I was really scared and he put my mind at ease. I researched and talked to people and everyone that I spoke to had great things to say about both Dr. Abkin and Dr. Bertha.

I just wanted to thank eveyone for all the support. I' so happy to hear you were and are still Happy with Dr Abkin and Dr Bertha. I'm still nervous, but less nervous.

I will be attending the seminar at Morristown Memorial Oct. 20th, And hope to schedule my surgery soon after ( so I can't chicken out). I just have to get some things in order first like, life ins. Just in case.

Thanks again for all your support

Glad to be of help. if you want to talk more about it give me a call.
