Recommendations for Surgeons PA-Southcentral



Recommended Posts

Hi, I am meeting with Hopkins regarding the endoscopic sleeve procedure in Baltimore but also wanted to look into a regular gastric sleeve. I am self pay and looking for recommendations for surgeons in my area. York, Harrisburg, Lancaster. I could go as far as Philly but it there are a lot of trips for nutritionists, having the meetings on line would be preferred. Thanks!

I am currently going through the program at Penn State Surgical Weight Loss in Middletown, Pa. I travel an hour and a half one way to see them monthly. I couldn't recommend them more. The staff is wonderful.

Could you tell me if you are self pay? I contacted them and they told me that it is $50,000 because of the relationship with the university and hospital and that basically it is too expensive if I am self pay. They were my first choice because of where I live.

I'm going through UPMC Pinnacle Health Weight Loss Center in Harrisburg (surgery is at
UPMC Pinnacle Osteopathic) Dr Rosenberger will be doing mine. The clinbic gives you a team environment. I waqs sold on them the first time I called after an appt and the recording said, press one if you are calling from a Drs office OR if you need to talk to your team. Most offices have you 3rd or 4th on the list. Here you are the prioirty. All the employees are awesome, my nutritionist is fab and friendly, and several of their employees have had weight loss surgery. Even the nurse at the hospital bariatric floor had WLS. When I had the EGD done, Dr Rosenberger came into the surgery smiling and singing to me. Gotta love happy people. From others I know, that had one of the other Drs, Dr. Marco, they all really like him too . My surgery isn't until Dec 13 2017, but they all have made me feel confident in my choice. and I'm excited!

      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! 😞
