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.

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.

You're so sweet. Thank you! My plan is working. On the day of that video, I weighed 219. Today I weigh 210!! 🙂

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.

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'm about 30 minutes east of Pittsburgh, you?

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
