Hey MommyofThree, what section are you in? I grew up in North Park and when I married we moved to Red Cedar. I was a Pennsbury grad, husband was a Neahaminy Grad, and my kids went/go to Truman.

That was our Church. I don't think they have a school there anymore. I don't know if you're in the area anymore but they consolidated a few of the schools

Hey PA Sleevers!

I'm a little over a week out. No issues other then some head hunger.

Would love to make some local sleeve buddies. I'm now in Media (delco).

Hi PA Sleevers! I hope to join your ranks. I am in the Levittown area of Bucks County. I have run I to a bump in the road and would welcome any suggestions. I was approved by insurance last week for vsg at Barix Clinc (10 min from home) I had my psyc eval, cardio eval, barium swallow, ugi, and pulmonolgist clearance. Great right? I called on Monday hoping to set a date. Instead the Dr told me he needed a better written eval from Pulmo. He said he would just call himself which I thought was great. And then...he calls back and says I'm too risky and to oh to a real hospital! Ack, few days of moping, then started calling hospitals. I tried Penn and Einstein both have six month weight programs. I don't want to wait more. I'm going to the Abington open house on May 3. Here's hoping no six months. (My insurance does not require it bcbs Illinois). Any one know about Abington? Good Surgeons? Wait time for dieting? Sorry for the book I've written here lol

Levittown also. Didn't go with barix seems like they make you do everything yourself I live 10 minutes from there. I am with chestnut hill hospital (Dr meilahn).

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
