I to am looking at this Dr.  I have a phone consult with him this thursday.  I wish more people would post that have used him.  I did find a post by a girl that really liked him though i have to say the nurses sound like they need more practice.  The Iv was not in the vein and when they went to put it back in it took 5 sticks thats a bit much for me. She said the meds were burning like hell.

I found another woman that was quite ticked off because he left NJ quite abruptly.  His staff appearently didnt inform his patients he was leaving? Was he running?

Hi Liza! Im a new member and wanted to ask a question. I was very interested in this post because I just got my medicaid app approved and the whole point of getting it was the surgery. I am going to ask for Blue Choice but what are the other requirements that you have been given, since you dont have to wait? Do you have to attend classes? Any help you have would be grateful!! Thanks!

I should be at every 10:30 support group in April.  So maybe we'll get to meet!!! :)

IT WENT AWESOME!!! lol

I have to go Tuesday for my Nutrition eval and another support group! 

ACTUALLY, with the SC medicaid health plans, there is ONE healthplan that does not require the 6 month diet, and you can switch to it. IT is BLUECHOICE, this is the BEST one for the surgery, so if you have medicaid, make sure you have bluechoice!
I had Absolute total care and I switched to Bluechoice so I wouldn't have to do the 6 month thing!
