After years of contemplation, months of research, and finally seeing a coworker get bypass i decided to go for it in January. Going to use hope bariatrics i think. I changed my insurance to anthem bcbs and i signed up for a $2500 hcsa so I'll have the money on January one. I called to make an appointment but its too early. They said call in November.

I know I'll be approved 5'5" 350ish pounds

Anyone near Pittsburgh thinking 2014 is the year?

Congrats on making this step! Im not in Pittsburg but am in State College Pa, my surgery is Oct 30 thru Geisinger.....Good Luck to you!!

I'm in the Scranton/Wilkes Barre area in PA. 2014 is my year!!! December will mark the 6th month in my six month program so I'm hoping for a January surgery date...no later than February. Fingers crossed. Good luck to you and welcome aboard the weight loss train!!!

I'm from the Pittsburgh area and with any luck should have a surgery date in the next month!

Hi Tina I'm using hope bariatrics. My surgery is 2/28
