Anyone going to Hahnemann for their surgery?



Recommended Posts

That's Hahnemann Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Philly folks--I'm counting on you for some help!

I had major surgery last year there that went amazingly smoothly. I was wondering if anyone here is going with Hahnemann's bariatric program. I'm interested in any pros or cons that you might have about the program.

It's handy for me, as I can do all my doctor appointments/labs over my lunch hour (or extended lunch hour) from work, rather than taking a bunch of sick time I can't really afford to go to a hospital nearer to home. (I work about 30 miles from where I live.)

Thanks for any feedback you might have!

Hi - I work in Philly too and not far from Hahnemann - just a few blocks away...anyway I went to Temple - loved the Dr but the area - so then I went to Jeanes Hospital about 40 mins away from the city - same Dr and AWESOME staff - stayed overnight at everything was great! I don't think there are any other Philly folk on here...I tried asking before. Good Luck

Wow--only TWO Philly folk! Well, there's a bariatric center at Hahnemann; I'm pretty sure I'm going there. I'm interested in knowing their experience level (how many surgeries they've done, etc.). Guess I'll do a little digging.

Thank you so much for responding and I wish you the best in your journey!:thumbup:

Make that THREE Philly folk LOL! I work within walking distance from Hahnemann (live in NJ). Small world!

I haven't had experience with Hahnemann, but the co-owner of my company's husband is a doctor there. (And I was born at Jeanes Hospital :-))

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
