@@muhol88 have been going through chestnuthill hospital but have another surgery scheduled through Jefferson. Thinking about switching.

I just had a spinal fusion done at Jefferson on 10/22. I can honestly say they were THE BEST hospital I have ever been to. They were so amazing in taking care of me. We weren't from the area so my mom and fiancé were staying at a hotel while I was there for 2 days and my mom is a freak when it comes to making sure I'm taking care of in a hospital so she usually doesn't leave my side but she was comfortable enough to do so there. They were the nicest staff and truly cared abut their patients. If anyone has the opportunity to have a surgery there. I would recommend it.

Im in the Poconos. Having surgery tomorrow morning!!!

I'm close to you. Outside of Scranton in NEPA. Where are you having your surgery? I had mine at Wilkes-Barre General

I am having my surgery at WBG. How was it there. Since the Scranton hospitals suck and my surgeon has privileges at regional and WBG, I chose there. How was the care?

I had my RNY at Chestnut Hill, excellent experience. In comparison I had another surgery at Jefferson, and though the surgery itself went well, they were horribly behind the day of surgery. I was scheduled to report at 9:30 and wasn't taken into surgery until 4pm. At chestnut hill I was taken back on time. When you can't eat that waiting can be unbearable! After care was equally good at both hospitals.

      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! 😞
