Happiest Girl 6 Posted March 20, 2019 I also used Dr. Felix at Hope Bariatrics and am very happy with him and all of his staff. I had my gastric bypass 6/8/17 at St Clair Hospital. I only wish I had done is sooner. No complications at all. 1 The 56 Bypass reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CJSB 0 Posted March 20, 2019 I am in Pittsburgh and thinking about gastric bypass with Dr. Courcoulis. I thought I wanted gastric sleeve but they seem to prefer bypass. I am three months in but still very unsure about this whole thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you going to the monthly support groups? I was there for the first time this past March meeting. Were you there??? I am located actually 30 minutes east of Pittsburgh. You? As for the surgery, I originally wanted sleeve and wasn't eligible because of a hiatal hernia. I am so grateful for the bypass! What is causing you to hesitate??
