Anyone else from Virginia?

Any one else doing the surgery want a partner? I am doing it on the 6th of Oct. So anyone else from that day I would love to have a friend to go through with it all. Please pm me.

Anyone else from Virginia?

Me, I'm in Chesapeake! =)

Well hello fellow Virginian. I live in Charlottesville.:girl_hug:

Hey Barb ~ are you having your surgery done at UVA? My mom had back surgery done there about 7 years ago and it was really nice there. I love Charlotesville, it's beautiful. The only thing it has going against it is the University, LOL. (I'm a Hokie!)

My surgery date is the 17th at the OCC!

If any of you are doing banding this day and would like a partner let me know by email or PM.

Thanks!

I am being banded on October 29th. My daughter is being banded tomorrow morning and my wife on 9/29. I need to wai so that I can be their caregiver until they are on their feet. And then, I can have my surgery. It seems like a long way off but I do get to learn from my daughter and wife's experience.

Bridgette,

I'm a Hokie fan myself. My son graduated from VA Tech.

I'm having surgery at the Martha Jefferson Hospital. They have a brand new Bariatric Center and head physician Dr. Michael Trahan came to Va from Texas with several years of experience with lap band and gastric bypass. I work for the UVA hospital, but my private physician is with MJH and he referred me to Dr. Trahan. Although I probably would have been approved a lot quicker at UVA.

Dirigo,

I've heard of families that do everything together but yours takes it to a whole new level. You will certainly understand what the other is going through and will be able to encourage one another. I wish all of you the very best.

Dirigo ~ that is amazing! What a wonderful thing to share! Best of luck to you and your family!

Barb ~ I sure am glad you're a Hokie fan! =) Also, I know you're going to do so well with your surgery. Your doctor sounds fantastic! That's awesome!
