Dr. Robert Pinnar - LOVE Dr. Pinnar's Office



Recommended Posts

I was scheduled to go to a seminar with Dr. Pinnar on the 23rd of this month, but his office is SO FAR from me. I live in Waldorf. So I found Dr. Brian Long at Sibley in N.W., and I am going to a seminar at Sibley on Saturday. I am glad to hear more good things about Dr. Pinnar and I will keep my options open and see how I feel about Dr. Long after Saturday. Good Luck to you!

I absolutely ADORE Dr. ROBERT Pinnar's office! Paul is the first doc I have ever looked forward to see to get stuck by a needle. :rolleyes:

Sue is also great and full of fantastic information, and Shara greets you with a smile.

I would highly recommend them for your WLS consideration!

I was banded May 8th with Dr Pinnar and Paul. I just love them and their whole staff.

Happyme2009, for me Dr Pinnars office is a hike also (about 25 miles) I live in Kingstowne. but I did MUCH research on Lapband doctors and I decided that for me, I will travel to Dr Pinnars office reguardless of the miles. And I have not regretted once. Good luck with which ever doctor you choose, in the end its about getting healthy and we are:)

For anyone deciding on a doctor, go to the lapband website and check out their experience and qualifications. You cant go wrong with Robert Pinnar and his staff.

I was banded by Dr. Robert Pinnar's son, Eric. He left his father's office and let me tell you, because of Sue and Paul, I transferred myself to Dr. Robert's office. After you are banded you don't see the surgeon that much, but the support staff is phenomenal! Paul does the fills and Sue is in the office for your check-ups/weigh in. I love them both more than I can even say!

I live in Dale City, VA (about 40 miles each way) and would travel twice as far to Reston to see Paul and Sue. The office is excellent and well worth the drive.

NOTE: I am not knocking Dr. Robert Pinnar, he's amazing as well! :-)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
