I don't have a date scheduled yet. I'm completing the last 6mths of a weight management program that I have to do. I complete that in August. After that I can schedule the surgery.

Hey there! I live in Fredericksburg. My surgery was this past Monday and I am home watching the Olympics and figuring out how to get all this liquid and Protein in.

I am also in the Fredericksburg area! I started in 2009 with Dr. B in Richmond for the band, but switched to Bluepoint midway through as they were opening a stafford location soon.

Had lapband, yada yada, had lapband removed. Sleeve with Bluepoint 12/4/12.

Ugh! My hair is falling out like crazy and it's driving me batty. It's so thin now.

I'm not getting my Protein in. I hate most Protein supplements and am having a tough time with that in general. My weight loss is all but stalled

I'm in a rough spot right now.

I ask because now is the time to be creative. I struggle too but finding different ways so that I do not taste it is key

I was sleeved by Dr. Carmody and he was great! I have nothing but great things to say about him and his staff. Good luck!!

Did he tell you what bougie(I hope I spelled it right) size he uses?

Hello! I just had my consult with the NP at St. Mary's. I selected Dr. Bautista as the surgeon as I went to his seminar in July. I have already finished up my 6 mth req with PCP. I'm scheduling my psych evaluation and then nutritionist visit. The NP told me it would be about 8-10 weeks for Aetna to approve. Do you think that is reasonable or could it be sooner?

I'm excited yet nervous!
