Vishal Mehta Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

I think Dr. Mehta and his program is the best thing to happen to me. I picked Dr. Mehta because I heard he was good doctor. I got an appointment really quick and Dr. Mehta and his staff were very kind and explained everything to me. I weighed 252 lbs and now I weigh 194 lbs and that is only 3 months after surgery. I would recommend people to Dr. Mehta. He is a very kind doctor and he explained all the risk of surgery. Dr. Mehta staff is very helpful and answers all questions for you. They are always available to help.

When my doctor first talked to me about Gastric Bypass Surgery I was skeptical. I was 323 lbs and just diagnosed with allergy induced asthma. I had always thought that surgery was so drastic. My doctor made me promise just to meet with Dr. Mehta and then make my decision because I was not going to lose the 160 lbs that I needed to lose by myself.

Dr. Mehta literally knocked me off my feet. His presentation was thorough, he went through all the pros and cons, and he answered any questions we had. His office staff is super, they helped me with my insurance, it was seamless, my first meeting was on August 30, 2003 and I got a surgery date of October 1st. I had to post pone because October is a really busy time at my job. The staff is always extremely helpful with any questions I may have. I try to attend as many support group meetings that I can because I find them helpful and very important. I use the online support groups in conjunction to the support group meetings as well. As of today I am 166 lbs and feeling great. I would like to go to 150 lbs but if I stay where I am I will still be happy. I have people that I hardly know from my building and job coming up to me saying how great I look and I now have more energy than I know what to do with. I work out with a personal trainer at least once a week. The personal trainers that Dr. Mehta has are super, I wish I could take advantage of using them but the traveling from Jersey City to Somerset was just a little too much for me to continue at the pace that I feel I need to ensure my success.

Many people ask me if it was worth it and I tell them absolutely!! I would do it again in a heartbeat but only if Dr. Mehta is the doctor.

I was very impressed with Dr. Mehta. He takes his time answering any questions you may have, explains everything to you in full. He also has a wonderful staff working for him. The atmosphere is one of comfort and family. Lulu and Debbie, you are truly two of the nicest people I have had the pleasure of meeting. My surgery was approved in a mere 2 days, I was pleasantly surprised. I think that choosing Dr. Mehta as my surgeon, is the best decision I can make. I am very comfortable with my decision and look forward to keeping you all updated about my progress.

DR. MEHTA IS AN EXCELLENCY SURGEON
DR. MEHTA WAS A GENERAL SUGEON CARING ABOUT HIS PATIENT A WONDERFUL DOCTOR.
OFFICES STAFF VERY CARING, VERY HELPFUL, SOMEONE CAME TO VISIT YOU WHILE BEING IN THE HOSPTIAL.

I was made aware of Dr. Mehta's program through an associate at work and went to a seminar. I was shocked at the reaction that Dr. Mehta received from his patients during the seminar. He answerd all of my questions straight to the point. Even though snags with my insurance my total experience with the program was fantastic!! Dr. Mehta has given me my life back! I am able to live and work like I did when I was young! I feel I was given a chance to start over and I owe it to Dr. Mehta. My surgery was flawless. I felt great after. Recovery was quick and now I am on my way to new goals. Thank you so much for the new LIFE!!

I chose Dr. Mehta of the Mehta Bariatric Center because I heard he was a very great doctor. When I had my surgery I was weighing 365 lbs. I got my appointment right away. My first impression of Dr. Mehta was "Wow he's so young". He was able to answer all of my questions. His staff is excellent. They are all very informative, helpful and very nice to me. The one I love the most and helped me through out was Lulu. There nutritionist is also great. She answered all of my questions. They have a very good support group. I'm so glad I had my surgery with Dr. Mehta I never chose another doctor. Dr. Mehta is a top of the line doctor.

I chose Dr. Mehta because I heard such good things about him and also the fact that my daughter had surgery by him. Before surgery I was weighing 254 lbs. By January 24, 2005 I was down a total of 36 lbs. It was easy to get an appointment with him, maybe the next day or so. He was very good in answering all of my questions to the fullest. I should have did this years ago. Yes, he explained the risk of surgery. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. I would tell anyone I know to go and have the operation it will change your whole life. Thanks doctor.

Dr. Mehta was referred to me by Dr. Brolin. At the very first visit I knew that Dr. Mehta was the person I wanted to do my surgery. He explained psychological factures, post op recovery, physical changes and how Bariatric surgery works. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and always happy to provide information and answer any questions I had. Dr. Mehta can truly concentrate on what he does best; providing expert Bariatric surgery in an atmosphere of comfort and confidence.

I had my surgery in Dec 2002 and have lost 70 lbs. I have had no side effects and now live a happy healthy life.

Thank you.

Dr. Mehta is the BEST doctor I ever had. What doctor closes down an upscale restaurant, hires a band with an open bar and gives away gifts to his patients. NONE. Everytime I hear Christina Aguilera "You are beautiful, no matter what they say" I cry. That was the theme of our christmas party in 2003.

Before choosing Dr. Mehta I visited at least eight other surgeons. I had no confidents in doctors or hospitals after my mom died after a "routine" surgery in Sept 2000. My health was failing and I was weighing 487 lbs with a bad back. Exactly one year later Sept 24, 2004, I have already lost 191 lbs and still losing. Most bariatric centers put you on a waiting list for at least one year - within two weeks of my initial consultation I was operated on. Which left me no time to back out.

Dr. Mehta's approach in explaining the operation by via film questions and answers, perks and risks, in a group settinga allowed my husband and myself fully understand everything we needed to know before, during and after surgery. Even a year later he is always available even on weekends and weird hours. You'll have no problem reaching him. God gifted Dr. Mehta with the gifts of working miracles, and now everywhere I go I hear "you are beautiful".

i heard about Dr. Mehta through my mother. I felt very comfortable around him. At our first meeting, Dr. Mehta explained the procedure and all risks with me. The staff that Dr. Mehta has are very friendly and helpful with all your questions. I felt like Lulu was a personal friend of mine. Before my surgery, I weighed 237 lbs now I am weighing 145 lbs. I feel great!! I have not been able to utilize the Mehta Bariatric Center's after care program because of where I live, in Delaware. If I lived closer, I wouldn't hesitate to utilize it. I highly reccommend Dr. Mehta and the Mehta Bariatric Center.
