Hi, I'm from Pittsburgh. No date yet, one more test this week and then I submit to insurance. I'm looking for folks having surgery around the same time as me...prob end of Jan or early February.

I have my final pulmonary clearance scheduled for this week then hopefully we will start the approval process from the insurance. I'm very excited and can't wait to start living!

I actually leave east of Pittsburgh. I will be having surgery at UPMC ST Margaret's.

Hi Ladies,

I have been going through the process since April 2013. I've done EVERYTHING plus some. I have been put through the ringer several times, and I am happy to say that I finally got the go ahead from the insurance company. I am now waiting for scheduling to call me and it seems to be taking forever.

My surgeon is Dr. Ali. I was Kalim but he left.

Missysue,

I tried to add you as a friend but it wouldn't let me. Do you have a date set yet??

I am from the Allentown area. I had my Endoscopy today and it was a breeze. I was worried about it for nothing. I am hoping to have my surgery in mid February. I must wait until sleep study is done to get my surgery date.

I am in Erie, too. Skinny Minnie, do you belong to the Downtown Y? If so, would you like a work out buddy? I do Water aerobics 5 times a week and body pump once a week.

How about you, Missy? Do you belong to the Y and would you like a work out buddy?

I didn't know you could add friend on here LOL!! I had surgery on August 14th. Dr. Arreola performed it. I really like Dr. Ali tho also. He comes to most of the support group meetings.

I am a member at Best Fitness because it is so close to my work. I do love the Y though. I was a member at the east side one for a few years before I moved to the west side. I would love a work out buddy though! Having someone to work out with is such grey motivation.
