Mommy327 I am in the suburbs of Philly. I will be having my surgery at Einstein as well! Who was your DR? I am at the beginning. I have started a 6 month pre approval diet' date=' and my first consultation is this Friday in Elkins Park. Any advice? :-)[/quote']

I had my surgery there too.... My dr is dr Trang , I just had my surgery November 2 nd , I just saw him yesterday for my 1st post opt visit... I love it there .... Everyone is super friendly and always are willing to answer questions anytime.... Which dr are you going to pick? I love dr trang, he is so easy to talk to and made me feel at ease. I would highly recommend him.... I'm sure they Are all great drs there.... I saw dr Dallal in the hospital as well and he is great as well. I never saw soriano yet... The staff is great, the PA 's are great too.... As you can see I love it there,.... My advice , just relax and ask questions,....

I never met the new nutritionist yet, I heard Jen is nice....

This is a great group of drs and staff here,,,, I called after hours and dr Dallal called me right back and was so nice to me, they never make you feel like your concern is not important! Who is your dr.

I have an appointment on Friday with Dr. Dallal, but I havnt exactly picked a Dr for surgery. He was the first available, so I went with him. I met him recently at an orientation and I thought he was really nice. I'm so excited and nervous all at the same time! I just hope everything works out ok with my insurance. I have Horizon BC/BS of NJ.

How are u doing with the big change? I'm nervous that I will miss eating food! Lol!! I wish u the best of luck, and hopefully ill be in your shoes sooner then later!

Greetings PA peoples. I saw a few of you going to Magee too. Just had my surgery last Thursday with Dr Eid. Everything went fine so I recommend him for anyone looking.

This is the surgeon I will have! I met him in October for the initial visit... My 6 months will end February 4th. Hoping to have a date in March!

Everything went fine? He seemed very nice when I saw him.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
