Looking for some local people to share this experience with. I want to find some friends who are going through the same thing I am.

My current friends support me but they really don't understand the mental roller coaster that goes along with all this.

Thanks.

Hi! I am not from Reading but I am going thru the Reading Health System Weight Management Center. Not sure if that is where you had your surgery. I attended their seminar almost three weeks ago and have yet to hear from them which is driving me crazy! I feel like almost a whole month has been wasted. When did you have your surgery, and are you glad you got the by-pass? I want the sleeve but I know he may encourage the by-pass. I'm just not in a place that I am ready for all that it would involve long term. I haven't been thru it yet, but I am a good listener if you need to talk. Hugs and prayers! Kat

I'm still pre surgery. My insurance has a 6 month waiting time. So I have 1 month left. I can't wait. I live minutes from the Reading hospital but I'm going through St Luke's in Allentown. My insurance didn't cover Reading. I started wanting the sleeve but changed over now to going with the bypass. Good luck in your journey.
