New Jerseyites?? Recommendations? Problems?
Helloooo

Anyone from New Jersey here? I'm in central NJ, Matawan.

I am looking for a REALLY GOOD surgeon that takes Medicare.

I don't know if they take Medicare, but I have nothing but praise for my surgeons' office. Check them out at www.advancedlaparoscopicsurgeons.com. And come to a support group meeting!!

I agree with Alexandra. I have Dr. Pupkova from Advanced Laproscopic Surgeons and I really like them. The listen to you and support you throughout the whole process.

Hi all you Jersey people!! :-D

There is a NJ board?

Morristown is a bit too far for me to drive. It's more than an hour away, but heck, if I can't find someone really good, I'll drive it.

I am researching two Dr.s around here. One named Dr. Chau in North Brunswick and the other Dr. Mehta in Princeton.

ANyone here anything about them?

I'm sorry I haven't heard of those doctors.

I used Dr. Ballantyne in Hackensack.

My surgeon will be Dr Bertha. I want to attend a support group. The last time I had planned to attend, the date had changed and I hadn't noticed it on their website until the new date had passed.

Anyway, I notice that according to their site, there is a meeting this Wednesday. Is that accurate? Also, does it start on time? I am coming afterwork from and am likely to arrive a few minutes late.

Hi Wannabe,

Yep, as far as I know that support group meeting is happening, and yes, it does start at 7:00. I plan to be there since I missed the last one. Looking forward to meeting you!

I went to my counselor today and spoke about the band and I think I have made the decision to do it. I just need a really good surgeon I can feel confident in and also someone who will manage my gastritis, GERD, Asthma, chronic fatigue and fibroymalgia issues.

I am now on the hunt for a REALLY GOOD experienced LAP-BAND® surgeon in NJ that TAKES MEDICARE. I am having trouble finding that combination it seems.

Dr Borao out of Monmouth Medical center is a very good surgeon but he does not accept insurance! :-(
His office staff have been rude to me over the phone as well.

Let's get this show on the
road! :-)

Did you call Dr. Ballantynes office Eileen? I'm not sure if the website lists the insurances he takes. Good luck !!
