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!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
