I too had rny and am pittsburgh. I also have a private group I started a few years ago just for Pittsburgh peeps if anyone would like to join us!!! It’s called gastric bypass/sleeve-pittsburgh. We’re such a great group with no issues! Good luck to you all!!!

Hi. Was looking to see if anyone was from or around the Pittsburgh area?

Where is Springdale located? Haven't heard of that area

Yes!!! I did. Dr Eid. Where are you at in Pittsburgh? I'm in the south hills

Me too! Btw I have a Pittsburgh group on Facebook if you'd like to join. It's called Gastric bypass/sleeve-Pittsburgh. We're a great group!

I grew up in the crafton area! Crazy! I live in McMurray pa now. I was in west penn for mine

Hi. Any advice for me? I'm on day 4 of my liquid diet and my surgery is 4 days away! (Tuesday). Excited and scared! Anyone else with this date?

How is everyone doing after our 8mo mark?!? It's been awhile so I wanted to check in with everyone!

Your not alone! I too am always tired. I actually went to my PCP last week complaining about it and he said all my labs look fantastic. Suggested getting a couple two pound weights and doing 10sets of things to get blood to my muscles. See if that helps. Maybe lack of exercise (which I have to admit I don't do) so energy levels will be lower

Hi I was wondering if any of you are from or around the Pittsburgh area?

@@cls your too funny! I figured!!! Join my group. You'll love us! @@kstags Yayyyyy!!! You'll love us!

@@cls5186 what do you mean? I had my surgery in April of this year. October 26 is my 6mo follow up from my surgery.

@kstags. Hi. Have you had your surgery or due to have it soon? Magee is a wonderful hospital. I have a friend who had your doctor and had a great experience. If you read the post above I'd love to have you join us too! Feel free to look for us on Facebook under gastric bypass/sleeve Pittsburgh and join our amazing group! Lots of help advice and friends to join

@@kenya1129 Hi neighbor! I wish you luck with your coming surgery. I know quite a few people who had their surgery in Magee. I also have a Pittsburgh group on Facebook called Gastric bypass/sleeve Pittsburgh id you would like to join us. You could meet up with people who have had the surgery at Magee and had your doctor and get information from them. Hope to see you there. We're also having our first meet up on October 15th @6pm if you'd like to join us!

@@cls5186 I did not get billed for anything other than my deductible stuff. And once I had my surgery I never was billed again. I paid nothing.

Ahhhh ok. How bout I babysit for a doctor I used to work for and her and her husband are both from state college!!!! And next weekend my son wants to go there for the Kanya West concert [emoji13] for his 17th bd and stay at the college for the weekend with his good friend. Crazy small world huh!!! You will be so happy with Dr Eid. He's a great surgeon. Do you go to west penn for your apts monthly or one of his offices?

That's cool! I had Dr Eid. Love him. I had no issues at all. All went very well. Where in Pgh are you located?

That's awesome! Which hospital? I was at west penn. Great experience! When is your surgery? Bypass? Are you excited? Nervous?

Hi. Anyone from or around the Pittsburgh area?

That's great to know! Thanks Alex!

I too am 4 months out and use Genepro daily. I make fruit smoothies every morning and add two scoops in them. I also add one scoop to my coffee and anything else is a bonus with my food intake! (which isn't much). You can order it on amazon or genepro.com
