Topic: RE: VSG surgery w/ Dr. Fernando Bonanni or Dr G. with Abington Memorial hospital
Dr Noonan did her rotation in WI - maybe those are her stats just at Abington? But when we talked she had done 70 - 80 as part of her residency. I really liked her. She was very personable and answered all of my questions. I also am a fan of recent education.

I was at the support group on Tuesday as well. That was the first time I had seen him. I thought his presentation was great!

Good luck on your journey.

OMG your my neighbor you live in Phoenixville!!  I live right up 724 in Spring City!  lol  I've been looking for members in my own area it makes the support easier.   We should get together sometime.
About Dr Noonan Obesity help under the status says she only did 9 VSG and has only been a bariatric surgeon not even a year.  I am assuming this is inaccurate.  Do you know her correct stats? 
P.S,  I met her at the info session about a month ago.  lol  I also went to the support group that Dr Bonnani did last night.

This is not what you asked but I had Dr Noonan - she is with Abington and she did my VSG. I really liked her and she has done tons of VSG. Good luck.

Congratulations on the weight loss, and so glad to hear you are really settling into life in Florida!

The house is the house.  Still living in the bedroom.  We do have 4 working bathrooms in various stages of completion.  The family room still looks like an episode of horders as does the bedroom.  I'm frustrated with not having a house to live in, angry that this ******* raped us of our home.  The good news is that my son-in-laws cousin has been slowly working on the house, he's done all the tile work in the bathrooms and basement and we have the designs and tile we wanted as well as all the bathrooms designed by myself and Gene not some snooty interior designer that didn't listen to what we actually wanted.  Our son-in-law does what he can on the weekends along with his cousin.  Hopefully by this coming Christmas and if not maybe next Christmas we might actually be able to bring our stuff out of storage and into the house.

The blessing in all this is that we are ending up with the house we envisioned rather than the house that low life would have left us with had he not abandoned the house.  It's no longer flooding in the house when it rains, God is good!

Topic: VSG surgery w/ Dr. Fernando Bonanni or Dr G. with Abington Memorial hospital
I'm interested in getting VSG in PA with a good VSG surgeon.  I would be interested in talking to anyone via phone that had their VSG done by DR Bonnani or Dr G at Abington hospital.  Please comment below if you don't mind talking to me and I'll private message you my phone number.  Thanks!
