Is this supposed to be Pgh pa? If so, I'm from the area as well. North hills to be exact. I am 25 and live with my fiancé. As amazing support system he has been, he hasn't experienced this and I would love to have someone who has shared this experience to chat with (I talk the poor mans eat off and God love him, he ALWAYS listens patiently). Lol

York Hospital. My surgeon is Dr. Edward Garber. How did your surgery/recovery go? How long were you in the hospital and off work?

I was in the hospital 2 days ... The only pain I had was in my left side where they place the port for it to drain, it was a pain to get out of the bed to go to the bathroom and only had 1 nurse that was wonderful;) I was in on a Friday and out on Sunday ...they started me on liquid on Sunday and I was on that for 2 weeks and then puréed ... Alot of people regret it at first and go through depression cause it is such a change but this app that we are on is full of alot of support and there are alot of the same question and concerns we all have ... I prefer this over the support group at the hospital ... I would recommend that you ask your dr about ordering Celebrex for the pain cause it worked wonderful ....

I went to York Hospital too. My surgeon is Dr. Monk. I had no problems at all. Very pleased with Dr. Monk, his staff and the York Hospital!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
