christiep77 0 Posted July 20, 2009 Hi Everyone, My name is Christie and I am hoping to have surgery in Roanoke VA in the near future. I called today for information and I will be attending the next class for Dr Long. I started this process once before, but ended up getting pregnant with my second son so I had to put things on hold. Anyway, I hope to get to know everyone and have some support through this process. Christie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keswick Lady 0 Posted July 21, 2009 Good Luck fellow Virginian!! I was banded last Friday 7/17 and feel great---tummy is sore but I can deal with a bit of 'soreness' in pursuit of stunning weight loss!!!!!! I had my surgery at UVA and the surgeon, Dr. Schimer & staff have been fantastic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mountaingal 322 Posted July 23, 2009 Hi Christiep77, I've heard great things about your Dr. and the support groups in the area. I'm about an hour from you but if I get this done I'll have to go to Mexico..self pay. My Dr isn't keen on that option so I'm taking it one step at a time. He did say he'd look into follow up care for me as that is his greatest concern with out of country surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
