Has Anyone Used Dr. Christopher Myers @ Upmc In Greenville, Pa?



Recommended Posts

I have an appointment with Dr. Christopher Myers in Greenville, Pa. on Dec 28, and am scheduled to be banded on Jan 4 at UPMC Horizon. Has anyone used him or know of anyone who has? I have seen him a few times already, went through all my pre-op testing, and have a final appointment to see him on Jan 28. He seems very nice, knowledgable, I like his staff, but have not heard much about him..... good or bad. Was wondering if anyone had him as a surgeon, or knows anyone who has. Thanks

I have not known anyone who has gone to him. I went straight for the big shots through UPMC and went to Magee for mine. Good luck though!

Hi, Im new here :) I was scheduled for the required seminar this afternoon but thanks to this wonderful NWPA weather it was cancelled. I rescheduled for next Wednesday, I am so anxious to start the process!! Did you have a good experience at UPMC Horizon? We're you satisfied with Dr Meyers? I have read positive reviews online but would love to hear your personal experience/opinion!

Dr Meyers is absolutely wonderful! We have a huge support group through his office and in 4 years I’ve never met anyone who had problems or regrets.

He listens. He doesn’t judge. He is kind and … He is thorough. Takes every precaution for before , during and after surgery care.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
