Anyone have any recommendations for a NJ or PA Doc?



Recommended Posts

I went for a consultation at the Barix clinics in Langhorne PA. The doctor I saw keeps pushing the gastric bypass, but I know I definately want the band. He said that they will have someone from Lap band come and put it in since that's not what he does. I want to know more about the doctor who will be doing it even if he is from Lap band.

I am thinking about looking for another doctor just in case. I am waiting for a call back from the Clinic about the doctor but haven't heard anything. Does anyone have any recommendations for a doctor they used in Pa or NJ? I have started with my doctor superivised 6 month weight loss plan, and hope to be ready by the begining of October to be banded. Any help would be really appreciated!

Thanks!

I can definitely recommend the Weight Loss Clinic in Harrisburg. It's probably a little too far away for you, but they were great.

Thanks I will go online and check those out. They are a bit far from me, but will check them out all the same. A nurse friend told me about a Dr. Noyan in Hamilton NJ. She had a friend that used him, anyone know anything about him? Thanks again!

I can also definitely recommend the Weight Loss Clinic in Harrisburg, I'm also going through the 6 month supervised diet and will hopefully be banded in October as well. I am going with Dr. Matthew Davidson, HIGHLY recommend him. :) Good luck!

I would definitely find a new doctor....

Mine was Dr. Richard Pucci. He is one of three doctors in his practice (Advanced Laparoscopic Specialists LLC) and they are all brothers. Extremely nice people. They are in Suffern NY 845-368-1500, Goshen NY 845-775-7505, Ridgewood NJ 201-447-2808, and Oradell NJ 201-262-4800. Not sure where you are located but if you are near any of those locations they are highly recommended.

Hope this helps and good luck!

I have to agree Dr. Adam Goldstein, Voorhees, NJ. I knew he was my doc after his seminar. I scheduled my consult right then and there.

I have to agree with my fellow poste...Dr Adam Goldstein in Voorhees NJ and Sewell, NJ (where I am seeing him). I went to his seminar and was "ahhh" with his presentation. He is so down to earth. I have search and found he is best for me. Good luck.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
