I used Dr Richard Ing at Bryn Mawr Hospital. This has been a wonderful decision no regrets.

Hi all,

I'm looking to sell my fitbit flex and additional bands pack. The total cost was $145 and I'm looking to get $100. The fitbit is only 2 months old and 2 of the bands have never been taken out of the package!! Direct message me if you're interested or have any questions! Thanks!

Hi there. I was sleeved on 4/8/14 by Dr. Aley Tohamy at Chestnut Hill Hospital. Dr. Tohamy has since transferred to Crozer Chester Medical Center in Chester PA where he currently works with Dr. Katz. I am actually going to the support group at Crozer this evening. Pre-op: 219 lbs, SW: 207 lbs, CW: 161 lbs. I've had about 2-3 stalls. I had difficulty getting in my Water and Protein early on but have been doing so much better lately. I work out about 4 days a week. My workouts vary between the treadmill, workout tapes and strength training (2x/week). Good luck to everyone!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
