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!

      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.
