Has anyone had lap-band done by Dr. Adam Goldstein in NJ?  Please let me know.

If you go to his forum there are 3 reviews from obesity help members. You should send them a message.

Thanks for your reply, but I am new to this.  Where is his forum.  Thanks for your help.

DEAR KELLY

HE IS A GREAT DOCTOR.    HE IS A GENTLMAN,  SOFT SPOKEN,  BUT WILL TAKE GOOD CARE
OF YOU.   LET US KNOW IF YOU NEED ANYTING ELSE.
TAKE CARE
BRIDGE    P.S.   ARE YOU COMING FAR,  WHERE DO YOU LIVE?

Yes, I have been to meetings!  I will be done all my appointments this thursday and then I'll just be waiting for insurance approval.  I am so excited.  I have a question...do fills hurt...please tell the truth, i can take it.  I live in Williamstown. Thank you guys for your help.

HI!  KELLY
     NO FILLS DO NOT HURT.
DR. GOLDSTEIN DOES IT AT THE X-RAY DPART. AT THE HOSPITAL IN MARLTON.
THAT IS WHERE HE DOES THE SURGERY.   YOU ARE ON AN X RAY TABLE.  HE WILL
PUT A SMALL NEEDLE TO NUMB THE AREA. IT IS A SMALL STING, THAN IT IS ALL NUMB.
THAN HE WILL PUT THE NEEDLE IN THE PORT AS HE SEES IT ON THE X RAY,  THAN THE
TABLE WILL STAND YOU UP AND YOUR FEET ARE RESTING ON THIS METAL STEP AT THE
END OF THE TABLE.  AT THIS TIME YOU WILL SEE YOUR BAND ON THE TV.
HE WILL THAN HAVE YOU DRINK SOME BARIUM, HE WILL WATCH IT GO THROUGH THE
BAND.  THAN HE WILL FILL THE BAND, ASK YOU TO TAKE ANOTHER DRINK, IF HE THINKS
YOU NEED MORE OR LESS HE WILL DO THAT THAN, THAN HAVE YOU DRINK ONCE MORE
TO MAKE SURE IT IS GETTING THROUGH.  THAN YOU LEAVE, AND DO LIQUIDS FOR
TWO DAYS, MUSHIES FOR TWO DAYS, THAN SLOWLY FOOD.  THE MORE YOU GET FILLS THE
MORE YOU HAVE TO CUT THINGS VERY SMALL, AND CHEW LIKE 29 TIMES BEFORE SWALLOWING.   TO NIGHT I WAS IN TOO MUCH OF A HURRY AND SWALLOWED TO SOON,
AND GOT IT STUCK, SO I HAD TO STOP AND JUST WALK AROUND UNTIL IT DECIDED TO
GO DOWN.  NOW SOMETIMES IT WILL COME UP.   THAN IT IS GOOD TO HAVE HIT TEA, AND
LET IT CALM DOWN BEFORE TRYING AGAIN.  
SO WHEN WILL YOU HAVE YOUR SURGERY?   WERE  YOU AT SUPPORT GROUP LAST
THURSDAY?   THEIR WAS A GIRL THERE THAT IS GOING TO HAVE SURGERY ON AUG 8TH.
WERE YOU SITTING NEAR HER?  
LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.   I THOUGHT  HE WAS GREAT, AND THAT
HE TOOK  VERY GOOD CARE OF ALL HIS PATIENTS. KELLY LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. I WILL BE GLAD TO
ANSWER THEM IF I CAN.
WISHING YOU LUCK
BRIDGET K.
