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!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
