Philly hey, counting down until July 22.

If there is anyone from the Lancaster area, I would like to maybe get together and help each other stay motivated...anyone interested?

I am from Philly Kensington area I just found out today inorder for my doctor to say its a go for me to get the sleave I have to do a sleep study. :( so I am going in tomorrow night for the test I am getting it done at temple hospital

Had mine done there the staff was so nice.

Did u schedule ur sleep study yet? They are not fun but well worth it. I feel so rested when I use my nasal pillows. I used to fall asleep driving on 76. Crazy tired!!! Not anymore. I'm from Feltonville area. I'm getting mine done at Mercy Fitzgerald' date=' Dr. Ram. Don't have a set date yet. Aetna is acting up after I completed all my tests, support, exercise, and nutrition classes. It's frustrating but I leave it in God's hands. Wishing you the best with yours.[/quote']

I agree getting a sleep study is worth it. I was tired all the time and did not know why. They discovered I had sleep apnea. I think the CPAP machine helps a lot. But can't wait to be rid of it lol.

Hello, Im up in the State College area...I have to do a 6 month program thru Geisinger which that will be completed in July. I will be having my surgery in Danville hopefully soon after.

I am from Allentown as well. My surgeon was Dr Harrison at Lehigh Valley Hospital. I was sleeved 3-19. When I woke up in recovery the first thing they said was "happy birthday to the new you"! The OR and recovery staff were great.

I love Dr Harrison. He is my surgeon. He did my endoscopy last week and was great the entire time. He will be doing my sleeve July 19th.
