Is there anyone here from the Pittsburgh PA area? I don't know anyone, personally, whose had Gastric Bypass.

I watched your latest video on YouTube today. Thanks for the helpful charts and info. That's pretty cool how you broke all of the numbers down. You sound very determined and that's a great inspiration.

Yep. I am from the Burgh. Had my surgery April 20, 2017. Lost 134 pounds and maintaining great so far. Dr Felix gave me the tools. Hope Bariatrics

I also used Dr. Felix at Hope Bariatrics and am very happy with him and all of his staff. I had my gastric bypass 6/8/17 at St Clair Hospital. I only wish I had done is sooner. No complications at all.

I work in Pgh, but live up in Armstrong. Route 28 sucks!

I had my RNY on 1-29 at Butler Hospital by Dr. Daniel Gagne.

I am in Pittsburgh and thinking about gastric bypass with Dr. Courcoulis. I thought I wanted gastric sleeve but they seem to prefer bypass. I am three months in but still very unsure about this whole thing.

Dr. Courcoulis was my surgeon, too! Are you going to the monthly support groups? I was there for the first time this past March meeting. Were you there??? I am located actually 30 minutes east of Pittsburgh. You? As for the surgery, I originally wanted sleeve and wasn't eligible because of a hiatal hernia. I am so grateful for the bypass! What is causing you to hesitate??

Yes, 28 does suck! I'm in Westmoreland County, just east of Pittsburgh.
