I live right outside Pittsburgh in West Mifflin, PA. Right by Kennywood Park if you have heard of it. Allegheny County. Good to see some other PA folks on here.

Just saw your post now. I had my sleeve done at Magee Women's Hospital with Dr. McCloskey.

I had my sleeve at Sewickley with Dr. Askherili. I am sure that I misspelled his name.

Lorie I live in Cranberry Twp and am having mine done by Dr. Eid at Magee on Oct 24. How long ago did you have your surgery? How did it go?

I had my surgery July 26th. It went great. No complications any my surgeon said everything went perfectly. My surgery was scheduled for 1:30pm but I went under more like 4pm. I didn't get into my room until 8pm or so and I pretty much was out of it until the next day. I had a really had time shaking off the anesthesia and couldn't get my fluids in so they kept me 3 nights instead of 2. But, the second day was so much better. Once I got home, I recovered fast. No issues so far and I am 11 weeks out today.

Good Luck with your surgery and please feel free to ask me any questions that come up. Sometimes I get better answers on here than from my surgeon.

This is great to hear and you're doing so well! On this forum I also met with a woman that lives in Cranberry and she had her surgery a week ago now at Magee by the same surgeon I'm using, Dr. Eid. She is also doing extremely well. You ladies put me at ease (somewhat! LOL) with all the positive stories!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
