Recommended Posts

hi all,

ann here. i'm on the hunt for a good vsg surgery program. i live in the dc metro area, so you'd think it would be fairly easy, but i'm really struggling. i'm going to a seminar at fairfax hospital on tuesday next week (my 4th seminar -- boy am i sick of seeing stomach pictures!) but they may only do vbg!!! i'm hoping to get any feedback about their program or any info about programs nearby in maryland (balto for instance).

thanks! i know i'm going to like being here!! i hope i'll be a good member of the forum!

If you are in Va try Blue Point Surgery Group. They also work out of Fairfax Hosipal. They are going to be doing my sleeve on the 19 of oct in Woodbride VA.

I'm with BluePoint as well and my experience has been great. I didn't think they did surgery in Fairfax hospital but I do know they do it at Potomac hospital (Woodbridge) and Fair Oaks hospital (Fairfax).

Good luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
