  1. Your lap band experience with Dr. Denis J. Halmi / Potomac Hospial

    MB5 replied to mor6300's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
    Follow up with nutritionist happens 1 week after surgery, a month after that, and then one more visit in another month. They seem conservative compared to some - liquid diet for a week then mushies for a month. No fill until 9 weeks after surgery. Thought Dr Tran and Dr Halmi were both great! Stay in the hospital as long as you can. It's nice to have people taking care of you!

  2. Drs Halmi/Tran

    I am hoping to have surgery soon with either Dr Tran or Dr Halmi. However, I haven't seen a general practioner in years!! Does anyone have any recommendations of a doctor in the Reston/Fairfax/Sterling areas who is supportive of weight loss surgery? My last doctor was a real jerk about my weight which is the main reason I haven't been in so many years!
