Mehta Bariatric Center Bariatric Center

My initial meeting with Dr. Mehta was april 13, 2006, and I was extremely impressed with the entire staff. I run a company as an Office Administrator and I notice the operations of an office instantly - they are efficient and defintely worth the time. My experience was delightful and would highly recommend Dr. Mehta to anyone who is able to utilize him for this life experience. The support staff is also amazing. I love talking to LULU she is a trip and down to earth. Kristen is also extremely helpful and always on top of things. THANKS TO THE STAFF AND DR. MEHTA FOR MAKING THIS JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE AND EASIER.

I heard about the Mehta Bariatric Center from a radio advertisement...(888) NEW-BODY. Really easy to remember!!

I called immediately. I spoke to a staff member who explained the procedure and answered all my questions. I attended a seminar the next day and was very impressed with Dr. Mehta. He was very kind and compassionate and explained everything, all risks involved with the surgery.

I was able to get an appointment within a few days and my surgery was scheduled three weeks later. I am 5'2" and weighed 226 pounds on the day of the surgery. Eight months later I am 147 pounds and look and terrific but, more importantly, feel terrific. The amount of energy I now have is amazing.

Dr. Mehta really is a miracle worker....he gave me my life back! Everyone in Dr. Mehta's office is helpful and willing and able to answer all your questions. It was a wonderful experience...I wish I had done it sooner.

I found Dr Mehta via a Google Search in August or July 2005. I went to his website and gave the toll-free number a call a couple of times before Lulu talked me into actually attended on of the free seminars. It was September when I went to the seminar and from then its been a whirlwind of activity. Labs, psych evals, switching PCP's and approved! LuLu - as is Dr Mehta's entire staff - is awesome!!!! So fast! So knowledgeable!

All the wonderful things I read about Dr. Mehta and his staff during my research for my Roux-N-Y surgery was true.

My experience was professional and caring. Begnning with my first visit, all the details about my surgery, the written information, the insurance and the office support were excellent. My recovery was amazingly comfortable and quick. It is now 10 weeks later and I've lost 40 lbs.

Thank you, Dr. Mehta for giving me my life back!!

I wanted to take a few minutes to let you know how I feel about my surgery.

Today is exactly 1 month since I had my surgery performed by Dr. Mehta at Robert Wood Johnson Hospital in New Brunswick, NJ. At my weigh in yesterday I have already lost 68 lbs and I am amazed!! My clothes are all too big and I am getting compliments from everyone I see.

When I first decided to go ahead with the surgery I was filled with trepidation, I am known as a big baby when pain is concerned. I was very pleased that the post op pain was to a minimum! I was up and walking the next day and was ready to leave the hospital in only 2 days! And I was back to work after one week!

I really want to thank your staff too, without Debbie dealing directly with my insurance company I am sure they never would have approved me, she will surely be missed! Lulu was and is a constant source of encouragement. Thank heavens for both of them. Also, I have to tell you that Dr. Patel is one of the kindest physicians I have ever had, he helped me immensely in the run up to the surgery. Dr. Patel is a huge asset to the Mehta Bariatric Center.

Dr. Mehta explained all of the possible risks of the surgery and I took them all to heart, however, I can say at this point I have experienced no ill effects. I suffered from severe sleep apnea before the surgery and I am thrilled to tell you that now I sleep through the night, every night and I don't get sleepy in the middle of the day anymore! Also I used to take a pill every day for acid reflux disease, and since the operation I have not had to take them anymore! My only regret in this whole matter is that I didn't do this years ago.

Dr. Mehta, I don't know if I will every be able to properly thank you for changing my life! All I can do is be a voice on the street and tell any who are in need about you and what you and your staff can do. I know that you do this every day and it is your profession, but as for me and my family, you will always have a place at my table! (The servings may be small but you can have seconds!) I don't want to get all melodramatic but you saved my life. No one has ever done that before and again I will never be able to thank you enough. I can't believe this all started by hearing a commercial on New Jersey 101.5. That day changed everything for me. I called for an appointment and was in your office 2 days after and before I knew it a surgery date was set, insurance approved, and all of the pre-op tests commenced. Everything happened so very fast and so efficiently, you should be proud of everyone in your office.

And in closing I also must express my thanks for the after care you provided. I attended my first post-op support group a few days ago and it was very helpful to meet and talk with others that are in my position. That interaction will go a long way to giving me not only a positive mental attitude but to help motivate me to lose more and to maintain my new healthy lifestyle. I know that you don't need to do it but thank G-D that you do. I will never miss one.

Well I have bloviated quite enough, feel free to use my story any way you deem fit. I will be happy to talk to any one on your behalf. If you have a patient who needs encouragement or questions answered by a non doctor have them call me. Thank you for giving me my life back.

I chose Dr. Mehta because a friend recommended him. I called and got an appointment promptly. After meeting with Dr. Mehta I knew he was the one I wanted to perform my surgery. He explained everythign thoroughly. Before and after surgery, there was so much support, between his office staff and support groups.

I started out weighing 275 lbs I am now weighing 200 lbs in only 5 months. I got my life back and I owe it all to Dr. Mehta and the Mehta Bariatric Center!!

Dr. Mehta is such a wonderful physician with great bed side manner and sincere towards his patients. It's been 2 years since my surgery. I feel great. I have lost over 150 lbs, live healthier and happier. I do not suffer from diabetes, high blood pressure, leg adema, back pain and or any other co-morbidity that comes with obesity. I no longer use insulin nor blood pressure medication. Life is so much happier for me and my family.

Dr. Mehta and his staff are great. Even though it's been 2 years he still seems to remember me.

Just had my surgery a month ago. I am already down 30 lbs. Feeling great already. Never imagined the drastic change that 30 lbs could do for me. I can breath better and move around without such pain. Picking Dr. Mehta and the Mehta Bariatric Center was the best decision I have ever made.

The staff, especially Lulu filled you up with such energy and always made me feel comfortable. No one better to give you an idea of what to expect, since she herself is a patient and looks great also.

My family and I are very greatful for Dr. Mehta and his knowledge. He is such a caring physician with great bed side manner. Always made me feel comfortable. I am going to enjoy my outcomes of life from here on in thanks to Dr. Mehta.

When I first Dr. Mehta I was impressed with his knowledge of the Bariatric surgery. What I liked the most about him was the way he answerd all of my questions without any hesitation. He was honest and made me feel comfortable.

His staff was quick and always pleasant. It's been 2 years since my surgery and I am a new man. My life has changed tremondously. I am more active now than when I was a child and wake up every morning looking forward to what the day has to offer.

Dr. Mehta has great bed side manner. He takes time out to answer any of my questions. I would re-do this surgery in a heart beat. Choosing the Mehta Bariatric Center was the best decision I have ever made.

Dr. Mehta and his staff are awesome!! They treat you like a person, not a patient. Getting my initial appointment was easy, and my surgery was scheduled in 6 weeks. All of my questions continue to be answered fully. The most impressive thing is Dr. Mehta calls you back instatnly - 24/7. He even showed up at the hospital near midnight once to check on me! Lulu and Debbie are absolutely wonderful too - they always have the answers and the support you need. My surgery was in August 2005 and I started at 329 lbs. As of today, exactly 9 weeks post op I have lost 55 lbs, feel great, look great and can't wait to lose the rest. This was the best thing I could have done!!
