Hi Kristin, I am very dissappointed. My partner and i were headed to the meeting tonight, I am a prospective patient and have an appointment with D. Mehta next week. Now I have to cancel it because we never made it there and they wanted me to attend this before my appointment. No one at the office could give me directions on how to get to the hotel, and suggested I call the Hilton. I called and the girl had trouble with directions, but I took what she gave me and we drove out. The directions were incorrect, so we called the Hilton while driving around and were handed off to three different people on the phone because no one could tell us how to get from where we were (which was some street in New Brunswick that the incorrect directions sent us) to the Hilton. After the third person had no idea what to tell us, we gave up and headed home. I'm really dissapointed as my partner left work early to go to this with me and annoyed that no one at a Hotel could tell us how to get to the hotel. Just had to vent.

Eileen, Its always good to vent! The directions are posted on both the MBC & MBC Support Group site. Im sorry that the Hilton could not help you, it must have been very frustrating. Please call me next time. (I can privately email you my # or you can get it here http://www.mehtabariatriccenter.com/support_group.htm). I would not cancel your appointment just yet, call the office and speak with Lulu. Explain to her what happened, Im sure you will not have to reschedule. ~Kristin

Thanks Kristin. May I aks you if you know if Dr. Mehta has done any Lap Band procedures? You can email me if you'd like.

I know he has, I just can not confirm how many. When you call the office they can verify it. Good luck to you! Keep us posted on your progress!! ~Kristin
