Anyone using Geisinger Hospital in PA?



Recommended Posts

Good afternoon everyone..

I was wondering if anyone here is going through Geisinger hospital or has already for their surgery? I am and I am a little nervous. Any input would be great. Thanks.

I am not. But a coworker had hers done there and she was quite happy with it.

I know of, no joke, six people who have had their Gastric Bypass surgery at Geisinger Danville! My mom had her's there in 2003. I will just begin the process on August 26th but if all goes well, my surgery will be at Geisinger Danville!

That is awesome!! I have been looking for people who have already gone through the process there. I am in my 4th month at geisinger!!! Out of all the people that you know have any had problems?! I am very nervous about surgical complications. I know of one girl who went there and has had problem after problem. I get so nervous about everything. Would love to hear any and all stories relating to geisinger!!!

I'm thrilled to say that none of the six had ANY problems whatsoever. None!

Can you share with me, even privately if you want, what Geisinger is asking you to do? I'd love to know what I'm getting myself into on the 26th!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
