Question:
Pre-ops: Have you had a consult or have your WLS with

Dr. Nicholas Bertha? I have a very dear girlfriend who lives in Plainsfield, NJ who is planning on having WLS. I noticed the surgeon she has chosen is on our list. Her consult is on the EXACT same day that I had my LAP RNY. She is excited, but doesn't know much about the surgeon she has chosen, and quite frankly, I don't know anything about the gentleman. Is there anyone out there that knows of or had surgery by Dr. Nicholas Bertha in NJ? How are you doing? How did everything go?If it's better that SHE register with ObesityHelp.com and she find out herself, just tell me, and I'll pass the info on. Thanks in advance!!:) Hadiyah, a.k.a.    — yourdivaness (posted on July 15, 2003)

I don't know Dr. Bertha, but I do know someone who had surgery with him back in January. She is an OR nurse and speaks very highly of him. Personally, I have used Dr. John Romanelli, from Jersey Shore Hospital, Neptune, NJ, who is a wonderful doctor and surgeon. He has an excellent pre & post care program. If she is in this area, I would highly suggest Dr. Romanelli. If you want to, please feel free to email me at [email protected] for more information.
