I used Dr Richard Ing at Bryn Mawr Hospital. This has been a wonderful decision no regrets.

Hi all,

I'm looking to sell my fitbit flex and additional bands pack. The total cost was $145 and I'm looking to get $100. The fitbit is only 2 months old and 2 of the bands have never been taken out of the package!! Direct message me if you're interested or have any questions! Thanks!

Hi there. I was sleeved on 4/8/14 by Dr. Aley Tohamy at Chestnut Hill Hospital. Dr. Tohamy has since transferred to Crozer Chester Medical Center in Chester PA where he currently works with Dr. Katz. I am actually going to the support group at Crozer this evening. Pre-op: 219 lbs, SW: 207 lbs, CW: 161 lbs. I've had about 2-3 stalls. I had difficulty getting in my Water and Protein early on but have been doing so much better lately. I work out about 4 days a week. My workouts vary between the treadmill, workout tapes and strength training (2x/week). Good luck to everyone!
