Hi there!

Dr. Terracina did my surgery last December. He and the staff were wonderful! You are in good hands!

I'm a tranplanted Virginian--originally from up north. I've been in the area since 2001.

I hope all goes well for you!

I'm from the Richmond area and scheduled for banding Jan. 21 at St. Mary's. This website has been a wonderful resource for me - lots of information and things to think about.

Welcome!

Dr. T did my surgery almost 3 years ago, great doctor and staff, good luck with the insurance approval...they also accept cash...;)

I graduated from York High School, and so did both of my grown sons, so that should tell you it was a long time ago.

Welcome to LBT and let us know when you get the news.

      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.
