Nutrtionist?????

Hi Everyone, Not sure I've ever posted here before but have been on OH for the past 3+ years. I need to find a nutritionist here in NJ - preferrably near the Mount Laurel, Cherry Hill Area. Any suggestions? I have ins but everyone I call says they don't help those with eating disorders? LOL Thanks! Jen

Did you ask your surgeon to recommend one to you? Teru

My surgeon is 2 hours away from where I live. They have a nutritionist but with a full time job and part time job no way for me to get out there regularly.

The nut. I used for my consult is based at South Jersey Healthcare Regional Medical Center.I don't know if they take people that are not having surgery there,but you could call to find out.The hospital is in Vineland,by the way.The phone number is 856-641-8000 for the main hospital number.Let me know if this helps!

I work for cooper university hospital, this is the nutritionist that we refer patients to (I work in Internal Med). I have not gotten feedback regarding how she treats patients with eating disorders. http://www.cooperhealth.com/content/NutritionServices.asp This is the nutritionist who my doctor uses, I have not seen her yet. My appt. is next Fri and I'll let you know. Barbara Skinner MS,RD,CDE (609)877 0400. Let me know if you find someone.

Please let me know how your appt goes...I'm not going to contact until I know. I'm really tired of rejection. Thanks Jen

I live in Lumberton and I use the dietitians at Virtua Hospital in Voorhees. Lynn Nugent works with people who havce had or who are contemplating WLS. I have been diagnosed with Binge Eating Disorder-To tell you the truth, I found working with a therapist was more beneficial than working with the dietitian on this issue. I am in school to be a dietitian now, and I think that we have practical eating information to give those suffering from eating disorders, but I feel that it takes a mental health therapist to get down to the central issues that cause eating disorders. Good Luck
