Question:
Anyone know a good PS in Northern NJ?
Looking to have bat wings done and am looking for someone who has had a positive and not so costly experience. Any input would be great. Thanks — KellyL (posted on May 13, 2004)

I never recommend doctors, but my gastric surgeon practices in Hackensack,
so I felt I could honestly reply to your inquiry. If you are willing to
cross the bridge, my plastic surgeon has an office on Fifth Ave and sees
patients on Thursday in Riverdale, a distance of about 6 miles from the New
York side of the GW Bridge.
His name is Gary Berger and he is so totally incredible. I had
abdominoplasty and belt lipectomy on December 22, 2003, after losing 135
from gastric bypass in October, 2002. The man puts on no shows, no ego,
just a "mensch." And, by the way, he wrote just the right letter
to have it all covered by insurance. I could not be happier. By the way,
his surgery took off an additional 10 lbs. If you need any further
information, please feel free to email me at [email protected].

Kelly, I would go to NY also, think about all the owrk PS have here in NYC
with all the rich and famous. i just had a Lower Body Lift 2 days ago with
Dr David Abramson in NYC. He was a referral from my Gastric Bypass Dtr and
has worked on a good deal of post-gastric bypass patients, and I think
thats important. Plus, he & his staff are wonderful and very willing
to submit pwk to Insurance and have had alot of approvals (not me
however)....his number is 212/774-1828. I know he is on almost all the ins
plans.

Kelly - I used Dr. Joseph Capella in Ramsey. He does surgery at the
Hackensack University Medical Center. I had the body lift, the arm lift
and a breast reduction/lift done by him. I am very pleased with all the
results. He is very experienced with reconstructive surgeries for WLS
patients. His father does WLS, so he does many surgeries. His office is
located in Ramsey right off RT 17. The phone number there is 201-818-9199.
He is a wonderful doctor and person. If you would like any more info you
may email me at [email protected] Dr. Capella also has a website at
www.capellasurgery.com Good luck! Fran
