Dr. Abkin will be the new surgeon at the Bariatric Center, affiliated with JFK Medical Center...right now the office is in Plainfield. The office staff there is very nice, he will start seeing patients in Sept.

I do go to it, and recommend it. I do the basic membership for $10.00 a month. There is an initial sign-up fee, but speak to the Manager and tell them your friend gave you the "dollar" sign-up paper but forgot it and see if they will honor it. Or check on-line, or Facebook, for a coupon

Good Luck on your Journey !!

What gym do you go to? I am thinking of trying Planet Fitness in Ledgewood. Was wondering if anyone knew anything about it.

Topic: Support Groups near Morris Co/Somerset

My Doctors office called me today and told me that my insurance company wants me to have 3 months of medically supervised weight loss program and 3 months of Support groups, not Weigh****chers but something that is related to surgical support. I have had the lap-band and had it removed on an emergency basis. My doctors office has the medical weight loss supervision covered but I cannot tell if there is a support group offered. I checked the Web site but I think that they all in another area.I need to find a support group in the Morris/Somerset area. Does anyone know of any that are coming up?
Thanks!
