Know a Dr. or hospital in Lehigh Valley, PA?



Recommended Posts

After attending a seminar last night I have made the decision to go for this. However, I cannot seem to find a doctor in the Lehigh Valley, PA area.

From what I understand they do the Band at Lehigh Valley, Dr. Boorse. Me personally I have an appointment down at Jeane's Hospital near Philly with a Dr. Kowalski, they are affiliated with Temple and he performed more then 75 procedures last year---which experience is very important to me.

I am in the LV also. Check out the Weight Loss Clinic in Harrisburg. Alot cheaper than the prices here. Also, one year of aftercare is included in price.

Lehigh Valley Hosp. has a Dr. Boorse. I will be attending a seminar on 06/05/08. Where did you go for your seminar? Do you know anything about the Sacred Heart Hosp. in Allentown?

Yes - Dr.Holland - I've been to two of their seminars. He seems to be very, very personable and has a great team of women working with his clinic. I believe he only does gastric bypass - not any lap banding. If I were to have gastric bypass - I'd definitely go with him. I've decided on the band - I'm going with Dr. Boorse out of Lehigh Valley Hospital. I'm currently in the long-drawn out 6-month program - information is great, but why does it have to take 6 months??? Wish you luck...

      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.
