Has anyone had surgery from Dr. Earl Noyan out of Centra State?

Hello,
I am new to the WLS world.  I am very excited to have it.  I have chosen the RNY gastric bypass. Both my medical doctor and Dr. Noyan concur that this is the procedure for me since I am 5'3 and weighing in at a staggering 288 pounds.  I have chosen Dr. Noyan that operates out of Centra State and Robert Wood Johnson-Hamilton. I am eager to find out who has gone to Dr. Noyan and what their experiences were/are.   Can anyone give me any helpful hints or words of advise?  I have so many questions that I cant seem to think of them now.  If anyone can give me any comments I am sure they will be much appreciated!!  Please give a new gal a hand!

I did not use that doctor but I did have RNY on 2/17/10-  my pre op weight was 278, I'm 5 ft 6 and I now weigh 165lbs and am still loosing.  Would be happy to answer any questions for you.  I have not had any real complications and tolerate food well post op.

All I hear from people is omg, your having "gastric bypass"??  All I hear is horror stories.  I never seem to hear of any success stories.  Did you have support from "everyone" you know?  I know this is the right decision for me but their stories scare me.  Not scare me to have me change my mind but just put a seed of doubt there.  I really dont know how to combat the negativity Any suggestions?  Thank you for your input, I really appreciate it!

Congrats on your decision; however, one caveat -- check out Dr Noyan's complication record -- there are a couple of patients in our support group who have had him and every single one has had some complication -- some more serious than others.  There are plenty of other surgeons with better records.

Don't mean to alarm -- just be informed......

Really??  Do you know how long ago this was? I would love to get the opinios of these people and their experiences.  I dont know if this is allowed but could you please give my email address to these group members who have delt with Dr. Noyan?  I am most eager to find out when they had their surgery.  My email address is [email protected].  I hope I am allowed to post my address but I want to gather as much information as possible.  My insurance is the best so I can afford to be choosy.  I would appreciate ANYONES input, positive or negative about Dr. Noyan and his partner Dr. Procurat.  HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Adam from Toms River, who has invited you to read his blog is the most serious complication from our group that I referred to.

Hi I'm Debbie and I'm a patient of Dr. Noyan & Prokurut.  I've been banded since Aug. 30, 2010 and I'm doing really well.

I did consultations with Dr. Noyan and Dr. Washington and decided on Noyan after my consults.  My surgery was done at RWJ Hamilton and I was very impressed with him and the hospital.

You can send me a message if you want to talk.  Remember though I had the lap band and not gastric.

I go to all Dr Noyans support groups and there are many bypass people there and they are always praising him. You should go to a support group and talk to these people.  As a matter of fact there is a meeting tonight at 6pm at the Robert Wood Center on Quakerbridge Rd. in Hamilton.  I go to Dr Prokurat and also have lapband.  I think they are great and also office staff are wonderful.
There is a December meeting on the 16th also.
My suggestion is to talk to his patients at the suppot groups.

I thank you for responding.  I am looking forward to meeting people at this support group meeting.  I am a little nervous but am ready to make the big step.  Thank you!!!!

I hope you can make it on December 16th, we are going to have a fashion show with before and after pictures from patients that are a year out or more.  They are going to have refreshments also so you will get an idea what you will be able to eat and drink.  Also a few patients are going to speak about thier expierences.
Should be a lot of fun and informational for you
