Hi, I am new to this forum and I am thinking of having the sleeve at Va Hospital Center and was looking for any feedback of people that have had the surgery there. Thx!

I had mine done there on Sept. 15, 2014, and have lost 69 pounds so far. It was not an easy or a pleasant surgery for me, but I think that's partly because I live alone and had no support. I highly recommend you have someone to help you out for at least a week.

I'm scheduled for surgery @ Fair Oaks in May. I would like to attend a support group meeting pre-op, do they still have them? Is it worth going pre-op? Any comments about Fair Oaks hospital?

@@mrmbv, I don't know if they have support groups. I personally, did not attend one . I did enjoy the hospital . I had a room to myself . The staff were attentive. I slept the entire time with the exception of having to go to the restroom what seemed like every two hours. My physician Dr. Tapazoglou.

I'm in NoVa and though I haven't had the sleeve yet (August 25 is the big day), I'd certainly be interested in participating in a support group.
