Anyone in New Jersey Use Dr. Ewing



Recommended Posts

Hi! I'm new here. I had started the process 2 years ago with Dr. Nusbaum. I was approved and at the same time found out I was pregnant with my 3rd baby. Surprise! So obviously I had to postpone my WLS plans. Fast forward to last month. I went back to Nusbaum, nutritionist, psych eval, they were all ready to submit me and then they realized they don't take new insurance. I'm so upset about this set back but I've done my research and it's lead me to Advanced laperscopic assoc in Paramus. It looks likes they are in my plan tier 1 and I should be good. I'm going this Weds for the seminar. Hopefully I won't have to start completely from

Scratch. Im mentally ready to get a move on it and don't want to wait and get nervous. Anyone use Dr. Ewing? Or Dr. Schmidt or Dr. Trivedi? Surgery would be done at Hackensack University. Any feedback would be great

I was sleeved feb 16 and I had my surgery done by Dr. Sadek/Dr. Donaire. I'm not familiar with your doctors unfortunately. Get ready for the beginning of your new life is what my doctor kept telling me lol. Stay positive and see if you connect with your doctors. I woke up from surgery pain free and they kept me pain free. Good luck and keep me posted.

You will! I've lost 22lbs since my surgery and I'm hoping I get through this "stall" soon. Lol

I had my surgery with Dr. Schmidt. He and the entire practice are fabulous. I picked him because I liked his demeanor when I went to the seminar. Looks like you have already done the seminar so hopefully you liked Dr. Ewing when he spoke and felt a connection. You're in good hands there. I go to the monthly support group meetings and have heard nothing but positive things about Dr. Ewing from his patients. Good luck with your journey!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
