Topic: RE: MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SURGEONS LIST!
 Sorry...but I called them today and they do not taken medicaid..I dont know what the heck is wrong with NJ surgeons these days..They have 1,000s upon 1,000s of morbidly obese people who I am sure have medicaid...We all need to pool together and complain..

I was reccomended to get Gastric by my endo and medicaid covers surgery but cannot find an actual surgeon to do it..can someone please help me..im really on the verge of a breakdown as well as severe depression. I eat right and I do portion control..but cannot lose the weight because of my thyroid..I have TYPE 1 DIABETES..

Topic: RE: NJ nutritionists, therapists, and support groups

Here is some useful "starting points" help you:

Bariatric Doctors http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/NJ/a,doclisting/type,46/

Nutritionists: http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/NJ/a,list/type,1/

Psychiatrists http://www.obesityhelp.com/find/psychiatrist/NJ/

Psychologists http://www.obesityhelp.com/find/psychologist/NJ/

As for Support Groups, if you send me a personal message I can send you a list I created. It may have some OLD information, but it's a starting point.

Off the top of my head: New Brunswick is Saint Peters (every 2nd Thursday of the Month), and contact OH member Krissy for more information concerning Mehta Bariatric Center support group.

Check this page for more suggestions. Here is one I just found:
