I was going to go to LVH but my work and child care schedule wouldn't allow me to attend all the pre op meetings required. So I decided to go to St Luke's which worked out just great. Had the same anesthesiologist as when I had my daughter so I was thrilled. Loved her! I would love to compare notes on the two hospitals.

Hello PA VSG friends!! I live in Lancaster County, PA and had Dr Joseph McPhee!! He is awesome and it doesn't hurt that is is so handsome as well!! LOL. I had surgery on 8-21-12, so I'm 6 weeks out!! Best of luck to us all!!

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, 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.

Mine is Dr prashar

Is he with The Weight Loss Clinic??

Pottstown here!!!!!

My date is scheduled for oct 22nd
