futuremrsparker 288 Posted June 26, 2013 Is this supposed to be Pgh pa? If so, I'm from the area as well. North hills to be exact. I am 25 and live with my fiancé. As amazing support system he has been, he hasn't experienced this and I would love to have someone who has shared this experience to chat with (I talk the poor mans eat off and God love him, he ALWAYS listens patiently).

tsworkinger 16 Posted June 27, 2013 Hi tsworkinger I live closer to mechanicsburg pa but I am familiar with York... Where are u having your surgery at? I had mine done at pinnacle osteopathic hospital in Harrisburg York Hospital. My surgeon is Dr. Edward Garber. How did your surgery/recovery go? How long were you in the hospital and off work?

mamafine23 101 Posted June 27, 2013 I was in the hospital 2 days ... The only pain I had was in my left side where they place the port for it to drain, it was a pain to get out of the bed to go to the bathroom and only had 1 nurse that was wonderful;) I was in on a Friday and out on Sunday ...they started me on liquid on Sunday and I was on that for 2 weeks and then puréed ... Alot of people regret it at first and go through depression cause it is such a change but this app that we are on is full of alot of support and there are alot of the same question and concerns we all have ... I prefer this over the support group at the hospital ... I would recommend that you ask your dr about ordering Celebrex for the pain cause it worked wonderful ....

Larry-1958 24 Posted July 12, 2013 York Hospital. My surgeon is Dr. Edward Garber. How did your surgery/recovery go? How long were you in the hospital and off work? I went to York Hospital too. My surgeon is Dr. Monk. I had no problems at all. Very pleased with Dr. Monk, his staff and the York Hospital! HW: 320 CW: 234 GW: 175 WLS: 4/30/13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
