brandnew 72 Posted July 22, 2013 How do you feel? He seems great' date=' he did my endoscopy last week, very cool and collected.[/quote'] Sorry didn't see this...I never expected to feel even half as great as I did! Absolutely NO gas pain at all! Incision healed wonderfully. Pain that I did have in hospital was managed very welland at home as well. Dr. Ram is awesome! I had a great experience, seriously.

kw2walker 211 Posted July 24, 2013 Philly hey' date=' counting down until July 22.[/quote'] I had a successful sleeve procedure. I also had a wonderful experience at Temple University Hospital with Dr. John Meilahn and his staff. While waiting to go to the OR when folks knew you were his patient they had wonderful things to say about him. Happy to be on the other side! 1 Chelenka reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joy428 3 Posted August 16, 2013 Hi I'm in the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton area & scheduled for Sept 12 with Dr Neale Good luck. Keep me posted on how you do. It's nice to see someone else close by going through this also!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kathp 81 Posted August 16, 2013 If there is anyone from the Lancaster area, I would like to maybe get together and help each other stay motivated...anyone interested? This sounds like a good idea. I love Brader's support group, but there's only a few of us who have sleeves. I'm doing reasonably well - he won't give me a weight goal for my 6 months since I'm already there (yay, but I need a target, so onederland it is!), but I'm struggling with meal planning and recipes. And can always use a workout buddy. Good luck everyone! 1 kkramer185 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gastricsleever 259 Posted October 13, 2013 I plan on having my surgery in February- I live in Philly. Glad to have found this group! 1 kw2walker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nepagirl 24 Posted October 13, 2013 East of Scranton/Wilkes-Barre here! I just started working with Dr. Neale in Wilkes-Barre. I'd love to see an online support group for this specific area. Maybe even a Neale/Gerhart group? I live pretty far away so going to the support group is not an option. If any of you have ever been to the Pocono region, you know everything is far away!

Scout1234 161 Posted October 21, 2013 was sleeved 12/13/12 by Dr. Boorse at LVH and have lost just over 200 pounds! Great guy, great hospital. Easy for me to say because everything went smoothly the entire way. Not one single complication or annoyance....I can't say enough about my experience there. My insurance did not cover any of the surgery and the hospital was wonderful to deal with to work out payment schedules. I hope this helps anyone just starting the process. 2 Roserie and Chelenka reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
