With HNJH how long did take every one when it was submitted to the insurance, how long did it take to get approved?

What primary physician did you all use?

[Angelkeeper4 69]

My Dr is Dr. S. Patel with University Doctors in Sewell,,NJ. She's awesome.

[susansworld76 1]

Thank you! She was supportive about your choice to lapband?

[Angelkeeper4 69]

Supportive yes but I got a gastric bypass. (RNY)

[susansworld76 1]

Ok. Sorry for the mix up! :-) How was the gastric bypass? Did it take long to recover? If you don't mind me asking.

My PCP is Dr David Neidorf of Virtua in Lindenwold NJ. I had my all my paperwork submitted on Wednesday. Now I just wondering how much longer before I know. This is like waiting for Christmas....lol

Took about three weeks and I have no regrets. 106 down!

Hi. I had my initial appointment with Dr. Goldstein on 5-30-13. From his seminars, it is clear he favors Lab Band, but he does Sleeves also. I completed my check list around the end of August, my insurance (Horizon NJ Health, plan D) approved my surgery on the first request. My Sleeved is scheduled for 11-19-13. My insurance covered everything except for the nutritionist and Physc clearance. I'm both excited and nervous. After my last appointment with Dr. Goldstein he really made me fill at ease and I trust him as my surgeon.

how hard was it to switch to Dr Neff.?

.. because I was looking into switching because of the experience with the sleeve thing also and now that Dr Goldstein switched practices..... I believe he is in the same practice as Dr Neff... So i honestly thought it might be easier now with them being associates.

How did you like Dr. Goldstein an EVA?

[Pinkgirl1234 761]

I just got out of the ER...no slippage or erosion.Will I still get a revision by NJ Horizon Health

[Pinkgirl1234 761]

Dr Goldstein...any thoughts on this doctor?

[Tazi 33]

@@Pinkgirl1234 Dr Goldstein is very good. I haven't had a problem him so far. But he is the type of doctor who likes everything do to the t. Which is very good. Just stay on Eva because she will be the one sending all your paperwork. Make you get copies of all your paperwork just in case Eva never gets them. Ask all the questions you and don't be afraid to ask. I have my surgery on August 26 with him. If you any other questions I havr a private group with a lot of people who also had Dr Goldstein. https://www.facebook.com/groups/AprilsBariatricSurgery/
