Dr. Kammerer. I'm nervous and ever. Who's your doctor?

Phila,pa ????

Hey I'm from philly born and raised. I will be having my surgery at Jefferson Hospital on Dec.16

Wow I am so glad I found this forum. When I went to my consultation I was the smallest person there Weighting at 220lbs, I am not sure of my bmi. I am 45+ and I stand 5ft 6in. I have co-morbilities which allowed my ins to cover the procedure. My date for surgery will be on Dec 16 and I'll start my pre-op diet on the 2nd. I have always yo-yo'ed with my weight the highest weight at 275lbs. My decision to get the surgery was to become med free. Through the process of getting cleared I have found out I have sleep apnea, I have a hiatal hernia, and a small growth in my upper intestine( a lil worried), but this hasn't pushed my date back. When I share that I'm getting the surgery they ask "why", or say" I'm not trying hard enough" if I could do it alone I wouldn't need the surgery. These forums are a Very helpful and informative and allows me to know I made the right decision. Thx y'all. Any sleeves that need a surgery buddy I'm open. ????
