Hi if all goes well I should have my surgery sometime next month. I'm wondering if there is anyone around pgh, pa? Would love to have support close by.

Hi, I'm from Pittsburgh. No date yet, one more test this week and then I submit to insurance. I'm looking for folks having surgery around the same time as me...prob end of Jan or early February.

I have my final pulmonary clearance scheduled for this week then hopefully we will start the approval process from the insurance. I'm very excited and can't wait to start living!

I actually leave east of Pittsburgh. I will be having surgery at UPMC ST Margaret's.

Hi Ladies,

I have been going through the process since April 2013. I've done EVERYTHING plus some. I have been put through the ringer several times, and I am happy to say that I finally got the go ahead from the insurance company. I am now waiting for scheduling to call me and it seems to be taking forever.

My surgeon is Dr. Ali. I was Kalim but he left.

I am from the Allentown area. I had my Endoscopy today and it was a breeze. I was worried about it for nothing. I am hoping to have my surgery in mid February. I must wait until sleep study is done to get my surgery date.

I am in Erie, too. Skinny Minnie, do you belong to the Downtown Y? If so, would you like a work out buddy? I do Water aerobics 5 times a week and body pump once a week.

I didn't know you could add friend on here LOL!! I had surgery on August 14th. Dr. Arreola performed it. I really like Dr. Ali tho also. He comes to most of the support group meetings.

I am a member at Best Fitness because it is so close to my work. I do love the Y though. I was a member at the east side one for a few years before I moved to the west side. I would love a work out buddy though! Having someone to work out with is such grey motivation.

      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.
