Hey! I'm from center city

I do attend the support groups at Springfield Country Club - but I don't go every month -- I like to see who the speaker or presenter will be. How are you feeling??

Feeling good. Just over two weeks post op. Still figuring out what my sleeve likes and doesn't like.

Great! I had my surgery November 2012 and have lost over 100 lbs. Best decision I ever made!!!

It was rough in the beginning but I followed the recommendations from Dr. Katz and never got sick or had anything stick. I am still amazed at my weight loss and the clothes shopping is amazing.

Keep me posted!!

Hi PA Sleevers! I hope to join your ranks. I am in the Levittown area of Bucks County. I have run I to a bump in the road and would welcome any suggestions. I was approved by insurance last week for vsg at Barix Clinc (10 min from home) I had my psyc eval, cardio eval, barium swallow, ugi, and pulmonolgist clearance. Great right? I called on Monday hoping to set a date. Instead the Dr told me he needed a better written eval from Pulmo. He said he would just call himself which I thought was great. And then...he calls back and says I'm too risky and to oh to a real hospital! Ack, few days of moping, then started calling hospitals. I tried Penn and Einstein both have six month weight programs. I don't want to wait more. I'm going to the Abington open house on May 3. Here's hoping no six months. (My insurance does not require it bcbs Illinois). Any one know about Abington? Good Surgeons? Wait time for dieting? Sorry for the book I've written here lol

Abington was wonderful! I started w the information session on October 1st and was approved by January. Because I am a teacher I waited until spring break. Everyone I came in contact with was wonderful. Dr. G did my surgery and so far so good!

Hey Lisaru. I am also in Levittown. I was sleeved 2/17. I originally was going to Barix but changed my mind and went to Abington. They were amazing!!! Dr. Bonnani did my surgery. I also heard great things about doc G as well. A few people I knew used Dr. Bonnani so I felt more comfortable using him and it was the best decision. Please feel free to ask me any questions
