looking for very good surgeon near wayne nj

I would have to agree with the above post re: Dr. Michael Nusbaum.  He is excellent in every way, a true professional.  I have had a wonderful experience with him and can not say enough about him. Good luck in your decision, Denise

Dr. Capella in ramsey is awesome that's the one out of hackensack and the hospital was an experience in relaxation, i would do it again anytime let me tell you!!!! Also Dr. Capella has traveled the world teaching other Dr.'s about his specialty bypass surgery...

IM WORKING WITH THE CAPELLA GROUP ALSO MY DOC IS DR IANNACE I LIKE HIM HE IS VERY INFORMATIVE AND WILL ANSWER ALL YOURE QUESTIONS I FEEL REALLY COMFTERBLE WITH HIM IM HOPING TO HAVE MY SURGERY SOON.

I had both Dr. Iannace and Dr. Capella when I had mine on May 3rd, 2006.  I weighed 425 lbs on surgery day and today at a year and a month out, I am down to 210 lbs.  They are fabulous.  Dr. Iannace does Lap surgeries also.  My cousin just had hers done by him.  What they do that other doctors don't do, is in addition to doing the bypass, they place a band around the new pouch to keep it from stretching, so that you don't gain the weight back in a couple of years, which is what happens to lots of patients.  You can call their office to sit in on a free seminar that they have 2 times a month.  Their web site is www.capellasurgery.com Angel

Ibrahim M. Ibrahim MD FACS

201-894-3000 Dr. Ibrahim has been doing bariatric surgery for a long time. He only does bloodless surgery (not open).  He just had a new Dr. join his office who is wonderful, Dr. Strain I believe. I would highly recommend him. Oh and his specialty before bariatrics was vascular. I guess you can see I think very highly of his practice.

Hello. Im Griselda. I had  gastric bypass done by Dr. Rafael Capella he is in Ramsey, NJ. I lost 246 lbs.  because he does a combo of the lap band and the RNY in which you lose more weight than usual, and so far my 2 sisters had it done excellent results one of them went from a size 24 to a size 8 and the other from a size 18 to a size 4. I went from being 411lbs to 168lb  which was a size 32!! to a size 9, and I just had a tummy tuck on June 12 so Ill be smaller than that :).  Dr Capella is a GREAT doctor his team is great and they work very hard to get people approved through insurance. I have recommended 10 people all of which had it done by him and ALL have FANTASTIC and AMAZING results.    DR. Rafael Capella 201-818-9199

I had a VBG Gastric Bypass in Hackensack Hospital by Dr. R. Capella in Ramsey 8 years ago!   He is wonderful!!!

A note to PLUM: Yes, I had open surgery where my incision was from between my breasts to my belly buttton.  However my sister and many others that I've had go to Dr. Capella for their surgeries; have had "Laparoscopic Surgery" (three tiny holes along with a very tiny incision over the belly button - for him to check on things).   Now if he's changed things since, I "sit" corrected , otherwise I'm sure it's not just "open".

Do any of these doctors take medicaid, my HMO is Horizon NJ Health? Melissa

I could be wrong, then... it's happened once or twice before At the Hackensack support  group meeting, the bariatric nurse coordinator said that he does open exclusively, as that's what he's comfortable with.  I suppose there can always be exceptions! And, just for the record, I wasn't saying that was a BAD thing... just making a note Wendy
