Mehta Bariatric Center Bariatric Center

My heart doctor suggested getting the gastric bypass operation due to my weight which was up to 340 lbs. (BMI 44) an I have a heart condition, knee problems and other things.

I've tried every diet and quick fix there was, but always gained more weight.

I did lots of research on Laparoscopic surgery to find the right doctor. My friend had the operation performed by Dr. Mehta and told me how wonderful he and his staff (Debbie & Lulu) were and he was right. All my questions were answered honestly; I got an appointment withing a few days, and got my surgery a month later. Debbie and Lulu could not be more helpful with my insurance approval, questions I had (no matter how silly) and support.

They're great!! Dr. Mehta is a total professional who takes great pride in what he does along with Dr. Patel. He also has a great after care program which includes: Support Groups, Nutritionist and Personal Trainer, Ect.

I would highly recommend, if you're considering Lap Bypass Surgery, make an appointment to see Dr. Mehta, I could not have found a better surgeon. he saved my life.

I chose Dr. Mehta because of his long extent school history, a lot of experience, easy person to talk to and understand. All risks factors where discussed (nothing kept away). I made a very good choice, Dr. Mehta is great!!
Dr. Mehta has a great support system. The office staff, Lulu, is the heart of the office. She has so much energy that you feel taht she is your angel showing you that it is going to be fine.

I really would to recommend Raritan Bay Hospital. I felt like I had 10 mothers all there to take care of me. Never, ever was I taken care of in that manner. The best!!

I chose Dr. Mehta after watching a TV program about his Bariatric program. I also attended a seminar which provided myself and my husband with an abundance of information regarding the different types of weight loss surgeries available. Before surgey I weighed 249 lbs. I called Dr. Mehta's office and had an appointment the following week. My surgery was scheduled about 6 weeks later. Dr. Mehta took the time to answer all of my questions and never made me feel uncomfotable about being so over weight. The staff at the Mehta Bariatric Center couldn't be more helpful. They have a wonderful support group which gives everyone a feeling of belonging. I wish I would have known Dr. Mehta ten years ago. But I'm loveing life now!!

After extensive research, I chose Dr. Mehta because of his excellent credentials and references. I called other offices but Dr. Mehta's staff was the only ones who were very friendly and knowledgeable of the procedure. I was able to get an appointment right away. During my consultation Dr. Mehta answered all of my questions and told me about the pros and cons of the surgery. I left knowing I was making the right decision. I was able to have the surgery scheduled at my convenience which I chose a couple months after my consultation.

Before and after my surgery, the staff, Lulu and Debbie were very helpful and friendly. I was also able to speak with a dietitician to help me with the right foods to eat week by week after my surgery. It's been 6 months from my surgery and I have lost 75 lbs and gained so much confidence. I would recommend the Mehta Bariatric Center for anyone who is thinking of having surgery; you will be well taken care of physically and emotionally.

Words cannot describe how I feel and how thankful I am for choosing Dr. Mehta!!

I chose Dr. Mehta because my aunt referred me and she had great changes in her health after her surgery. Before the surgery I weighed 337 lbs, three months post op I weighed 271 lbs.

I was able to get an appointment right away. When I first met Dr. Mehta he was kind, very well educated and he took the time to explain every risk and benefit factor to me. The staff was great and very supportive.

I am very grateful to Dr. Mehta, Dr. Patel, Debbie and Lulu for a fantastic experience with my Roux N Y gastric bypass. I first attended Dr. Mehta's seminar in May 2005, and got an appt within the next 2 weeks to come into the office.

Dr. Mehta is a very professional, young and very handsome Bariatric surgeon. He and his staff made me feel at ease, answering all of my questions and explaining all the prep before surgery. I was approved for surgery for Aug 3rd and I was overjoyed. I looked at it as a second chance for a healthy life style. I am a diabetic and I have seen what that desease did to my older relatives. Dr. Mehta explained that diabetes would no longer be a problem for me after the gastric bypass, this was the main reason for my surgery.

It's only been 11 days after my surgery and I have already lost 12 lbs. My goal is to reach my ideal weight of 120 lbs and stay healthy and fit for life. I intend to attend support group meetings. Dr. Mehta has annual picnics and holiday parties too. My experience with Dr. Mehta and his staff has been wonderful so far!!

Prior to surgery I weighed 280 lbs. It was quick and easy to obtain an appointment with the Mehta Bariatric Center. Dr. Mehta was confident and calm. He answered all of my questions and we began the process. I attended one support group meeting prior to surgery which introduced the personal trainers and plastic surgery available. I had my surgery on May 2, 2005 and have had a wonderful recovery. I did not use MBC's after care program yet. I have lost 50 lbs in 11 weeks and I'm very pleased with the results.

I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH DR. MEHTA'S "HANDS ON" APPROACH WHERE HE IS VERY INVOLVED WITH HIS PATIENTS BEFORE AND AFTER SURGERY.

MY WEIGHT BEFORE SURGERY WAS 302 - I AM NOW 269 AND LOSING.

MY NEW LIFE STARTED ON JULY 5, 2005, WHEN I HAD MY SURGERY. DR. MEHTA AND HIS STAFF ARE VERY FRIENDLY, HELPFUL AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE PATIENT'S NEEDS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. MEHTA TO ANYONE WHO IS THINKING ABOUT HAVING WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY. HE AND HIS STAFF ARE THE BEST. THE "MEHTA CHICKS ROCK!!"

DR. MEHTA AND HIS STAFF WERE GOOD. I HAD AN EASY RECOVERY AND DIDN'T REQUIRE MUCH AFTERCARE. I WAS PLEASED WITH THE SERVICE AS WELL AS CARE.

Dr. Mehta is an experienced Bariatric surgeon with very good credentials and a large support group as well as a staff. I picked Dr. Mehta for his knowledge, his hospital affiliation, credentials, office location and his bedside manner. His office personnel, Lulu and Debbie are great. Once I made up my mind to go through with the WLS surgery I made an appointment with two bariatric doctors. I decided to go with Dr. Mehta. His staff was able to to get me a an appointment within a few days. He was able to answer all of my questions and made me feel comfortable in answering any future questions. I was able to call any time (which I did).

Dr. Mehta was very thoughtful, very informative and I even called the office, being 4 1/2 months out, and Lulu or Debbie always answer my questions. I hit it off with the staff. I haven't been able to use the after care program, I did use the nutritionist, my excersise program is simple, but haven't used their personal trainers. Dr. Mehta came to visit and check up on me every day. I would do it all over again only with Dr. Mehta.
