Dr Yurcisin performed my Gastric Bypass on 11/31/11. Since the surgergy, I take less medication for my high blood pressure. I enjoy my new look and look forward to a brighter and healthier future.

Thank you Garden State Bariatrics!

I had gastric bypass surgery on August 31, 2011 and 3 1/2 weeks later, I am down from size 22 to 18! My knees/hips and back feel better. this is the best choice I could have made in my life. I have never been around staff so friendly before the GSBWC staff and Dr. Bilof makes me feel at home. Thank you for everything and getting my health back. No more aches and pains!

I am two weeks out from gastric bypass surgery (had on 9/16/11) and my knees already feel better when I stand - thank you! My journey is just beginning but I am very grateful to Dr. Bilof and the staff for giving me a wonderful start to my new and improved life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart - that now beats much stronger! God Bless!

Dr Bilof did my gastric sleeve surgery on September 12 2011. I would definitely refer the office, the team and the entire group to anyone considering weight loss surgery.

3 weeks after surgery - and I can fit into a Large now. I am looking forward to continued success with my surgery and the work I have put in - and will continue to put in for my health. I have a comfort level with everyone on the team at Garden State and feel taken care of and supported.

Dr Yurcisin did my gastric sleeve surgery on October 10, 2011. In two weeks I lost 22 lbs and I am still adjusting with weight and my meds - every day is better and better. Dr. Yurcisin's credentials are top notch - and his care, concern - the timem and attention he took with from our initial contact, our consult and every step of the way - he is a True Top doc in every way that matters.

I feel it is the best decision I could have made for myself. I improve my health and my self-esteem. I have great expectations for success. Dr Yurcisin and his staff have been most helpful and instrumental in my journey. Also, the hospital, St. Barnabas, was very good and helpful with my care and wellness. Together, they made my journey a very good experience.

I heard about the office and Dr. Bilof from the NJ Monthly Top Docs. All the things you want in a surgeon Dr.Bilof has - his credentials; his knowledge and expertise; his staff - just great.

I had the gastric sleeve 2 weeks ago - and I am pleasantly surprised at the speedy recovery time from the gastric sleeve surgery. I feel terrific just 9 days after the procedure. Of course - I am looking forward to continuing my journey and continuing to feel great. If you are looking for team of surgeons (Dr. Bilof and Dr.Yurcisin) that will take care of you, with a friendly and caring staff - you found it here.

Diane Duva - the Transplant Coordinator over at St. barnabas referred me to the office (and alot of the transplant patients are referred to the office - and I can see why). Dr Bilof is expert in his field and his staff is caring and attentive and supports whatever I need. My Hypertension is lower, I lost 20 lbs in the 1st 10 days after surgery!

As of my testimonial - its been 5 weeks - my journey has just begun - and counting. Very pleased so far!

I have and will continue to refer friends and family to GSBWC - Thank you!

Dr Yurcisin did my gastric sleeve surgery on September 26th 2011...and he has been great! I was referred to the office from both a family member and a friend... and came to Dr Yurcisin's seminar on the surgeries and the options. He explained everything clearly and outlined all the pros/cons. Dr. Yurcisn's expertise and knowledge is amazing and works with you all along the way. His attention to my care and concerns - so glad he is my surgeon for life.

I am off all my diabetic medicine, have my self-confidence back and looking forward to my new and healthy journey. Self-confidence; a smaller size for my health and to finally enjoying clothes shopping again - all great reasons for making the decision to get healthy. Of course I have and do refer my friends and colleagues to the office. Thank you!

You'll see me in Century Club - watch out!

I was referred by an existing patient of the office and attended an informational seminar with Dr. Yurcisin leading the seminar. Dr Yurcisin was great and so knowledgeable and supportive. My surgery was a month ago, and I have already lost 31 lbs and gained energy and strength. My insulin dosage has been dramatically reduced and my blood pressure is normal.

My husband and I researched multiple bariatric physicians, but when we met Dr Yurcisin and his staff we knew we were with a competent and caring physician and team. The office staff guided us through every step of what otherwise would be an overwhelming procedure. THANK YOU!

Update - as of October 2011 - I have lost 122 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I heard about the office through my insurance site. Dr. Bilof did my gastric sleeve surgery in May 2011 (after removing my gastric band - I was not getting the results needed and my health was not improved).

Everything bout the office - from Dr. Bilof's expertise and care to the staff and the support. I could not find anything I did NOT like about GSBWC. 6 months after surgery, I have lost 75 lbs - Off my Hypertension, Cholesterol medicine and my self-confidence is back. I am no longer depressed and I can happily get into a size 12 from 20/22. I can play with my children again and my joints feel better. I am enjoying intimacy with my partner :-)



I would definitely refer everyone to GSBWC. Through my ups and downs on my journey, GSBWC has always made me feel like a SUCCESS - even when I didn't think I was. Through their support, I now agree with them that I am a success!
