I have seen countless people on may 10th but no one else on the 11th yet. if no one replies to this ill have to go chat with may 10th people lol. okay so my surgery is at McGees Woman's Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pa with doctor Eid. getting pumped up for this!!!!! Who's with me??

ohhh I see! I've read it a few times but didn't know what it meant besides an accomplishment

what does nsv stand for? lol

I just finished my last week of school and I'm getting sleeved on 5/11. my mom and I were just saying yesterday how I have perfect timing for the sleeve because I have this week to get prepared for surgery with unpacking and organizing college stuff, going shopping for liquids, and other such things I need to do to prepare. then next week I'm on clear liquids Sunday through Thursday and I don't have plans for anything straineous. Then I'll go into surgery Friday! I'll have another 2 weeks off before I start work for the summer which my boss is very understanding and is going to let me do a lot of office work for a while. I'm very pleased with how timing ended up working out but I have been on this journey since September. I am very glad that I don't have to go back to school until the last couple days of August so I literally will be 3 and a half months post op before I have to start classes again. Although I haven't had surgery yet, I highly suggest finding a time during the school year you can take some time off, let your body rest, and follow your drs instructions to the T.

let me know!

Hey! just wondering if anyone knows about how long to wait until you can ride roller coasters or other amusement park rides. I'm assuming after everything heals but dont know and plan to ask surgeon for confirmation. let me know your experiences

yeah that's not my problem because I've always been able to ride but I am trying to decide if I'll be able to go to Kennywood with friends this summer

congrats! I'm may 11th and not sure about travel. I know my dr made it sound like everything would be back to normal work wise after 4 weeks

if anyone had a list of questions they asked their surgeon at the time of their pre op appointment I'd love to hear them! My surgery is May 11 and the pre op is April 23rd. As most of you probably understand my mind had been racing ever since I got approved and I haven't stopped thinking of this surgery. I have started a list of some questions I want to ask like How long is the hospital stay etc but I want to make sure I don't forget to ask something I'm going to end up thinking about after I leave. I know I could always call but I'd like to actually ask these questions to the surgeon. let me know what you guys asked!! thanks

I am may 11th in Pittsburgh pa with dr eid? anyone with me??

hey everyone I'm Ellie and just turned 21. my surgery date is May 11th in Pittsburgh!!! I'm super excited and a little nervous at the same time. I have support from all the people I would like support from. Just beig able to read these posts now that I have been approve is just making me realize how life changing this surgery is. I'm ready to change into a more healthier and happier life style and just be able to live me life to the fullest if anyone else is getting surgery around my date add me so we can talk about our experience together as we go

I'm may 11th so add me and keep in touch!

Any advice from anyone is appreciated! I've been following everything I had to do for this surgery the past 7 months and I just received the phone call yesterday that I am APPROVED!!! I have one more week of college classes then a week of finals to get through before I move back home so the date is perfect for having enough time to prepare for surgery and recover in time to start work in June. I am sooooo excited for this surgery I have been just glowing with happiness the last two days. Advice would be apprieciated Thannkkksssss

I want to begin the vsg process and I need some advice from people who got it done around pittsburgh pa. Where did you go? To what doctor? What insurance do you have and did it cover the cost? And any other support you could offer me. Im 20 years old and weigh 240. I need to get rid of this weight asap! Help! Thanks

I am 20 years old, 240 lbs, not sure of my exact BMI but I know it's around 38. I have UPMC insurance and it would be great if anyone knew if that covered it as well. I am in college and I have gained 60 pounds in the last 2 and a half years. I just started my junior year of college and I'm afraid im goung to gain another 60 pounds in the next two years. Some advice please! My cousin recently had this surgury and she's 70lbs down in 3 months and I'd kill for that! I wouldn't want to lose more than 100l lbs and stay around 140. Also, Im from Pittsburgh area so if anyone is familiar please let me know. Thanks!

Congrats! I want to get the process started but not sure if Im a good candidate or not? Finr my post a few down and tell me what you think? I need someone who's already gone through it and talked to doctors and let me know what they think

Hey I'm an hour south of Pittsburgh and I want to begin looking for doctors and talking to my insurance. Any advise from any fellow Pittsburghese people? Where you got it done and your insurance company. I have. UPMC
