Thanks for sharing your story! I know you must be so frustrated right now but have have you ever thought about possibly doing a medically supervised weight loss program? This way you could avoid surgery and further prevent any chances of gaining the weight back. We just recently had a client who lost 110 lbs in 6 months all natural (with medical supervision) and she will be hosting a holiday party at our center. We are located at 217 Route 22 East Green Brook NJ 08812. We would love for you to attend the mtg! You may contact me at 732 968 0200.

I would just like to let you know that no matter how down you may feel about yourself at times, there are things about you that make you unique and different and those things will always make you BEAUTIFUL! I am a counselor at Physicians Weight Loss Ctrs NJ and so many of my clients suffer from the same body dismorphia. Its important to realize that the way you see yourself is essential to your success on any weight loss journey. If you only see the negatives you will be less inclined to take steps to take care of yourself. Usually our center is the last stop before someone decides to lose weight through surgery, so we are introduced to a number of stages of depression and distorted views in our clients. It's also important to realize that weight loss is a one step at a time deal. You have to celebrate every good decision you make thats good for your body and understand that 1 lb turns into 5lbs and 5lbs turns into 10lbs etc. It's a step by step journey and you never have to do it alone! If you are interested in more information you may contact me at 732 968 0200. Good Luck and Stay Beautiful!
Happy to be back. You look great. Love your signature line!

Doctor Abkin saved my life and I will forever be indebted to him for that.
The folks at Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeons of Morris County are phenomenal. They have always been top notch with me.
I f you haven’t done it already, I know Doctor Abkin would love to for you to add your comments in this section of OH. He gets notified of it.

Don't let the adjustments scare/intimidate you! If you continue to reach out here on this board, I'm sure you'll make many friends/acquaintances who can relate.
Here's to your continued success! - Nancy

I recommend them. They stepped right up to the plate, without even knowing me, and took care of me. I will be changing to them from now on. My original surgeon, great guy and no problems is just too far away should something like this happen again.
