patients from southern nj like Dr. Neff. when i was going to south jersey to have surgery during my first journey...i was going to dr. nassir? and greenbaum? i believe. they all take horizon nj health.

i am in nj. medicare covers bariatric procedures but what you have is medicaid...and yes they cover them too. i have horizon nj health as well and i had my surgery on november 17th with Dr. Jordan Garrison. awesome doctor and awesome experience. you have to choose a doctor on the health plan that covers bariatric surgeries and go from there. if you are in northern nj i seriously suggest my doctor, Dr. Garrison. i wish you luck in your journey--you can do it!

great post! unfortunately the self controlled morphine did pretty much nothing for me and i had self administered drips every 10 minutes. the only way i was able to get some semi relief from pain via the self administering was when i would hit it every single 10 minutes for at least 4 times in a row. but for the most part, i worked through my pain by walking within hours after surgery, talking, sleeping and focusing on talking to my husband. i do wish i had a better experience with the self controlled meds...but my nurse Lenor was such a sweetie and we made jokes about it all that night. however i do agree--pain management is CRUCIAL for a good recovery and this post is awesome.
