Please don't re-post questions just because you are hoping to get a different answer. Instead, go back to that message thread and ask follow-up questions of the lawyers that provided answers you think need clarification.
With that said, you don't mention whether or not your H-1B application to US CIS was approved, nor what the start date is ... You might be subject to a cap which won't allow you to start work before October 1, 2012.
Further, until you get the J-1 waiver approved, you can't apply for a change of status to H, nor a H visa at the US Consul.
I suggest that you consider cancelling your trip to India until after you have met with an immigration attorney who can analyze your case better than can be done on this general-question website.
=======================================================================
Do not rely completely on information you get on a website. It is always wise to consult personally with an immigration attorney before taking any action with the US CIS, or US Consulate.
