My surgery date is scheduled for August 14,2007. I have been trying to

find other bandsters from Western PA (Ebensburg-Altoona-Johnstown) area. Or anyone who has been banded by Dr. Newlin from Lexington Surgicals....

Hi I am from PA but up in the Northwest Corner(Erie). My Doctor is Dr. Ali and is with the Hamot Bariatic Hospital. Wish I could be of more help. Good luck to you!:ranger:

Thanks, just thought I'd take a shot at it...

hi plnjc,

i am from south west pa. right outside of pittsburgh. my doctor is carol mcclosky at magee hospital. good luck on your sugery. let us know how you are doing

Thanks, I will. I thought it would be nice to find someone else who was banded by Dr. Newlin since he hasn't done alot around here. He came from Ohio and most of his patients are from there I guess. I'm scheduled for August 14 and I'm not as uptight about it as I thought I would be. Mayber I'll get anxious when it gets closer.....
