drey 20 Posted March 4, 2016 Hello everyone, I currently 6 weeks away from having my sleeve done and am so looking foward to it. Just checking to see if there are any of VA sleevers around having surgery soon. I am with Dr. Fritzer at VA Bariatric Surgery Center out in Reston. I love this website and have so much useful information thus far. Audrey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

curlyj74 3 Posted March 6, 2016 St. Mary's has a good bariatric program. A couple of friends were patients there. They are all happy. I just wish the process was moving faster. I don't need a sleep study to qualify but I'm going to have one because I need it. I also need a endoscopy. Just waiting for scheduling. I was hoping to get some of it done while I was waiting for the psych appt in April. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
