I have been going to Dr. Mehta for years. My first procedure was a mini tuck and lipo. I was debating which one to do and instead of making me chose and get something I wasn’t happy with Dr. Mehta worked with me on the price. Later on I decided to do a full tummy tuck and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. I had two babies a few years after the tummy tuck and my stomach was right back flat as soon as I pushed the kids out. ( 2 separate births might I add). Anytime I was curious or had questions about my surgery I could always get in-touch with Lulu (who’s also been there since my first consultation). The latest body tweek I got was the gastric sleeve. Best decision I ever made. I lost about 50 lbs so far and I love the way I feel. He does good work and the staff is always reachable. Def would recommend to anyone debating getting a little work done.

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 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.
JOANNE P. TOMS RIVER, NJ
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 is 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 recommend Dr. Mehta and the Mehta Bariatric Center.

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!!”
ELAINE L. TOMS RIVER, NJ
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 disease 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!!
SABA Q. LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ
I chose Dr. Mehta after watching a TV program about his Bariatric program. I also attended a seminar which provided me and my husband with an abundance of information regarding the different types of weight loss surgeries available. Before surgery 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 uncomfortable 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 loving life now!!
ELIZABETH B. HAZLET, NJ
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 instantly – 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!!
GERARD M. MIDDLETOWN, NJ
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.
MEIRA F. EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ
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.
TERESA C. S. TOMS RIVER, NJ
I 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 breathe 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 grateful 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.
JOANNE F. MONROE TWP, NJ
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.

After much research I found the Mehta Bariatric center. I wasn’t just going to have this surgery with anyone. The center had to really appeal to me and ensure all my needs. I went to the center and got all the information I needed. Both Dr. Mehta and the staff were very helpful. They answered all my questions and put my mind to total ease.
CHARLOTTE O. EASTON, PA
I was depressed, out of breath and thought I would never be able to loose over 100 lbs. I then decided after lots of thinking to have lap band surgery. After surgery I had very minimal pain, felt so confident in Dr. Mehta that my recovery was uneventful, weight loss was quick first month now about 21 lbs/week, and I am happy with that. It may take me a couple years to loose all my weight, but it took me years to gain it. Thanks to Mehta Bariatric Group!!
CATHERINE C. NJ
Before the surgery I was feeling down sometimes because I could not fit any clothes. After surgery I am happy and joyful. Very good within myself. All owed to Dr. Mehta.
PATRECIA P., NJ
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. Beginning 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!!

LYSTRA S.
I suffered from diabetes insulin dependent, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, sleep apnea, lack of energy, swollen feet and grumpiness. I underwent my surgery on June 5th, 2006. Even my grumpiness has gone away. Best of all I no longer use insulin and my sugar has been controlled. I no longer suffer from any of the other medical issues. My PCP was amazed and very impressed. I wish that there was a way to thank him for what he has done. If I could do it all over again, I would in heart beat with Dr. Mehta.
MIGUEL C. TRENTON, NJ
I no longer have to inject myself with insulin. My breathing has improved drastically, my mobility is with less pain, my legs are not swollen any more and I do not lack energy. Thank you Dr. Mehta for all of your special attention and support.

LAURA H. TRENTON, NJ
There was a great comfort level that continues to this day questions are answered willingly, phone messages are quickly returned and the girls in the office always have had time to give support advice and answer questions. Thank you MBC.
JANICE S.
I had surgery basically because all else failed. He was a dream come true. I would highly recommend Dr. Mehta.
P.K.
There is no talk of “hopelessness” at the MBC. In fact, Dr. Mehta and his team (the therapist Dr. Mehta recommends for dealing with obesity related issues) all work tirelessly to get their patients to where they need to be. I could not have done it without them!!
HEIDI B.
I am greatful to Dr. Mehta and his team, THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME MY LIFE BACK!!!
