Any fellow Pennsylvanians? Has anyone used Geisinger for their surgery?



Recommended Posts

I'm trying to connect with others in PA or others who have used Geisinger for their Bariatric Surgery (I think the surgeries are performed at Geisinger Danville.) I would love to chat with those people who have been through the process and to hear any advice they may have.

Thanks in advance!

Hey! I'm from PA, but right outside Philly. I'm not sure where ur at. I'm still pre op.

I'm done all my pre op testing. I was denied by insurance but I'm doing the appeal process now. Where in Pa are you?

I'm in Centre County, near State College. I will be seeing docs in the Greys Woods Geisinger. I believe the surgeries are performed at their main hospital in Danville, PA.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
