henrywb 0 Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) Hi, I finished the 6 month presurgical program at Lehigh Valley Hospital. I am waiting for a date. I have been obese all of my life and now I am struggling with diabetes, apnea, osteo arthritis. I had lost 25 lbs, but now I see it going back on. I have had a consult with Dr. Richard Boorse. My BMI is low and I freaked when I thought I might lose too much weight for approval by my insurance. Now I'm having the opposite problem, I can't control my eating.

Tamihott 0 Posted September 28, 2008 Hi! I live near you in New Tripoli, Pa! I just had my surgery on the 24th of September by Dr. Bono at Hazleton General. If you have any questions just ask. Good luck. Tamara Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
henrywb 0 Posted September 28, 2008 How has your recovery been? Now only four days after surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamihott 0 Posted September 28, 2008 I take it day by day. I thought I might bounce back a little sooner, but it is mind over matter. I have to tell myself to relax and rest so I can heal. I have alot of troubles consuming all the liquids they want you to drink since surgery. It seems like a constant battle to drink. Other than that like most I have lost 10lbs in that 4 days, so that keeps you going. Good luck Tamara Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
