I live in Beaver, PA. About 30 min from Pittsburgh. Was banded on 5/15. Lost 20 lbs so far and have first fill next week. Ready for that fill indeed!! We just moved here from NY 3 months ago but I think we're on opposite sides of the state. LOL!

I used to live in Levittown, PA right up the street from you. But I am back in California now... hope you are doing well. I had my surgery at Jeanes Hospital in Philly Dr Kowalski who is no longer there but practicing in Kansas.

Sometime in the next couple months I'll have it. Dr.Ceppa at The Reading Hospital will do it. I'm hard pressed to find someone else who had him as their surgeon :(

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
