Has anyone had experience with the weight loss clinic in harrisburg,pa.? I beleive I will be seeing Dr. Dimarco or Dr. Currie.

Yes, just had surgery with them. :)

They are very professional and the hospital the surgery is performed in is wonderful. Only bit of advice is that if you are seeing Dr. DiMarco is bring a book because he is always VERY late. (once it was 3 hours!)

Hi there! I love the WLC in Harrisburg. I was banded on Nov. 19th, 2010. I am alittle over 2 months post op and have lost 32lbs so far. My surgeon was Dr. Rosenberger and he is WONDERFUL AND CAME HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FROM A NURSE I KNOW AT PINNACLE HEALTH. He has a great bedside manner and is very sincere!!! DR. ROSENBERGER IS A+....GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!

I was banded in June and Dr. Rosenberger did my surgery too. He was great. I randomly had a fever just before I was suppose to have my surgery (I was in the gown and everything!) and the nurse was threatening to make me go home and reschedule. Dr. Rosenberger was very nice and helped me calm down (at this point I was freak out) and rechecked my temp a bit later and it was normal. I still don't know what caused it to go up (nerves perhaps?) but I'm so grateful that he was nice and left me stay and get my surgery!

While I loved him, I'm not so happy with the office staff at the Weight Loss Clinic. They sometimes seem so clueless. They have lost several faxes from my other doctors (Psyc, and PCP) and they've scheduled my husband for the wrong type of appointment on 2 separate occasions.

I too had my surgery done thru WLC, Dr. Prashar...I'm also not that thrilled with the office staff there, I called several weeks ago wanting to come back in sooner than my next scheduled appt. and was told by office staff that I couldnt because I was still in my 90 day period, whatever that meant! I have a appointment on March 28 at that time I will ask the doctor whose managing my care him or the office staff

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
