I highly recommend him. I'm his patient but I'm also a doctor myself... I was banded about a year ago by him and have been thrilled.

Good to know - I had my consult last month with him.

What in particular did you like about him and his office?

I was banded on November 4, 2008 by Dr. Nusbaum and to date have lost 90 lbs. My husband was banded by Dr. Nusbaum on February 19, 2009 and to date has lost 65 lbs. Both of us have recommended him to all our friends and some of them have gone to meet with him are now are awaiting a surgery date. We did have one friend who went to someone in the Hazlet area and had her surgery on a Monday and when she called on Wednesday to have a follow up appointment was told her doctor had left the practice. Both my husband and I are so glad that we chose Dr. Nusbaum because he was informative and his office was readily available to us at all times. What other doctor gives his home and cell number to a patient upon release from day stay. We have our new extended life to thank Dr. Nusbaum for. He is a fabulous person as well as a fabulous surgeon.

Does any one knows of any bariatric doctor specifically for Lab Band Fills taking Americhoice?, also that can take patients whom had surgery overseas, but that have been filled by another doctor in the United States. I have been struggling, have found one doctor (Dr. Franklyn Vasquez), to whom I was recommended by my Primary and Gastroenterology Doctor, but he refused to even give me a consultation, as I I have my surgery overseas, I have the feeling that some Surgeons are not compassionate, at least they can take the time to give you a detailed information as to wheter they can follow up with you or not, but not just refuse to take you cause they have not make your surgery. If anyone knows a doctor that can be of help, and that can take Americhoice I would highly apprecite, as I am really in need of a new fill, I have gained 20 pounds since my last fill. I thank everyone for your kindness and consideration to this matter.

I was just banded this past Thurs by Dr. nusbaum and he and his staff have been nothing but caring, informative, patient and supportive.. Even at Morristown hosp, where the procedure was done.. I'm excited nd nervous to start this journey but it makes it easier to know I have his full support! Best Md I met in a long time!

      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.
