Hello all, how exciting to see responses!
Does Bluepoint do their own support group? Or is this the one at Fair Oaks?
I am 5 days post-op, doing okay. Not hungry but there are moments I am craving to chew or taste something.
My surgeon was Dr. Fitzer and surgery took place at Fair Oaks. I started this process about August of 2013, weighing 300 pounds, I weighed myself yesterday and am at 254, still full of air and feeling blimpish
What would you all like to share? Or experiences? Or questions? It feels good to share with others locally!

Any Northern VA WLS, open to connecting online and off?

Annette, I have heard of Northern Neck! I haven't been there. Where are you going for care?

Pik, are you on a liquid diet yet?

Pik, go to the lower portion of site where it says local chapters load up to VA - NOVA.

I had my surgery on Monday, it is Wednesday, was just discharged today. Fair Oaks staff was fantastic. Dr. Fitzer's assistant is great, Jenny.
Glad to be home, bed was uncomfortable there, but that is really my only complaint. Room can be a bit cold, and may I recommend loose comfy clothes post-op the incisions rubbing against them is no fun. Also ask for a heating pad, it helps soreness.

OMG - Jessica totally terrified about how crabby and yucky I am going to feel about those three days!
Big hugs and support your way, I start on July 4th!

I am also having my surgery done by Dr Fitzer at Fair Oaks. My surgery is this Tuesday, all these months of waiting are up and the big day is right around the corner. I'm anxious about it but also so excited to start my new life. Today was the start of my three day clear liquid diet. I had a really nice dinner with friends last night and my last Cadbury bar when I got home. I'm definitely feeling hungry this evening so I'm trying to stay busy in an effort to distract me from the rumbly belly.
When is your surgery Karaya?
I don't know anyone personally who has had bariatric surgery so I'm glad to hear I have a couple of allies here on the forum.

Awesome!! Glad to meet another going through this in my area!

Hi, I am in Alexandria area, my doctor is Fitzer and I am also going to Fair Oaks
