I used Dr. Nusbaum in Livingston. I have only great things to say about him and his staff, they are always there for you know matter what !!

im from jersey too !!! had my surgery done by dr. nusbaum about two months ago had my first fill two weeks ago (down like 35lbs) but love him and his staff .. they are all soo great! goodluck too everyone!!

The pillow has worked wonders for me in the last week !! I was banded a week ago and when im in the car its the worst cause of bumps and what not, but with the pillow against me has helped. Pillows are highly recommended from me!!! =)

hey everyone ! So i am 21 years old and i was banded on 12/31/10, soo i am only 3 days in and on a liquid diet for a week and i have had the hiccups for like 2 days now and horriable gas pains. Any one have any suggestions on how to get rid of the hiccups ?? i have tried everything .. the only thing that has ever helped me with the hiccups in chugging Water and obviosly i cannot do that ... ahh helpp ! ox kayt

Heyy everyone I am 21 and I was banded on 12/31, so im only 3 days

heyy everyone ... my name is kayt and I was banded yesterday on 12/31 and am new to this site, I find it really encouraging to read everyones stories and find out more from people who have actually have had the surgery rather than just the doctors. I am 21 years old and have been overweight since foreverr but recently gained 50lbs since going off to college! I knew I had to do something different; but it is hard during college and all those late night study sessions. I have been successful and very unsuccessful in weight loss since childhood; can not remember a time that I wasnt on a diet of some sort. but I finally realized I knew that I needed something more than fad diets and exercising like a nut. I am only 5'0 and I am 225lbs. I am sure some people can relate to all of this and just felt the need to say thankyou to those of you who are very helpful for younger girls like me and are able to share your stories and just help clarify things that can be confusing about this whole process. Its a new year and a definitely new me! =)

I thought this day would never come after going to all of those test and meetings. It has been a longgg six month wait but my day finally came... I got the lap band yesterday 12/31. So today starts a new year 2011 and a new way of eating and living for me. I have not been able to sleep much but hopefully I will get some much needed rest soon. I am a student and I am twenty one years old; so I am slightly nervous about this new way of living and ive been praying; I hope everything is going to be ok. Im not in that much pain and hopefully I stay this way. Any ways I am thinking positive. There will be no negativity in the year 2011 ! hopefully ..... lol =) ox kayt
