Best NJ doctors list? And why?



Recommended Posts

where in NJ are you from or are looking in? i went to NJ Bariatric Center which has 3 locations: hoboken, springfield, & somerset. there are 4 surgeons who rotate among the 3 offices. i went to dr. angela jack glassnap and she was AMAZING! i've had such a smooth recovery (9 weeks out today, as a matter of fact!). she is currently on maternity leave until december, but her colleagues are also wonderful. i would highly recommend them, and her specifically if you are just starting the process and aren't looking for a 2014 surgery date. check out their website: http://www.njbariatriccenter.com/

in any case, good luck!

I am in North Jersey. I go to Dr. Gritsus, he has a office in Paramus and Pequannock. He did my lapband in 2010. I had my lapband removed in May 2014. On 9/3/14 I will be having the sleeve done.

Dr Karl Strom and his group. They operate out of Holmdel or Manahawkin! Office staff the best!

Annah,

I'm going to use Garden State Bariatrics (Millburn), Dr Yurcisin. I met with him a year ago, then talked myself out of it (kicking myself) and met with him again just yesterday. I'm going for the sleeve as well. My Primary Doc recommended him & my wife works in one of the hospitals he's affiliated, so she has an inside scoop on who to see and who NOT to see in that hospital. Good luck with who ever you choose.

Yes, Yurcisin is Bilof's partner, I think they are the only two doctors there, they also have an office I think in Bayville by the shore.

I am using NJ Bariatric Center, Dr Goya and Dr Montes. I was recommended there by my PCP. They have been wonderful during the pre-op process. What impresses me most is that they take the time to sit and answer any questions. No rush, no attitude.

      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.
