Pittsburgh - going to start in January



Recommended Posts

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?

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!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
