Hello,

I am looking for other who have had surgery and live in the Va Beach, Va or Hampton Roads Area. I had my VSG May 2010. I have hit a stall (need to lose 30 lbs to reach goal) and would love to talk, work out and talk to others in my area that have had WLS or VSG. I need some motivation and other ideas to get the scale moving again.

Thanks,

Shannon

How are you doing now? I live in Williamsburg and have my first meeting on July 5th. Sentra in Newport News.

How much have you lost? What was it like? My wife is concerned about me having it done, as a good wife does. I'm 283 ight now. I need my life back.

Are you glad it was done? Recovery?

Hello! I live in Newport News, and got my sleeve done just 2 weeks ago by Dr. Clark, at the Sentara Hampton General Careplex.

HI!!!! I live in Williamsburg and will go to the first meeting July 5th. My wife is going with me, she's concerned as a spouse would be but she knows I need to do something.

Can you tell me your story please. I am almost 300 right now. I am 56 & want to get older & get my life back. I want to get the sleeve by the same Doctor. Did your insurance cover the cost?

If not how much is it if I pay for it? How are you doing? I met someone last week who had it done 13 months ago. He got it done in Atlanta. He was over 500 pounds. He has lost 235 pounds.

He said it changed his life would do it again. It cost him $27,000. The strangest thing happened. When he was talking to me, I teared up because I was looking at "hope". I can see myself skinny one day.

What was your time frame from first metting to now?

Thank you,

I'm in Virginia Beach and was sleeved on April 23, 2012 by Dr. Fontana. Who was your doctor?

Have you gone to the BEWELL support group at Virginia Beach General Hospital? I find it very helpful. You can call the Bariatric Center at Norfolk General Hospital for details. BEWELL is open to all, no matter where they got their surgery done.

Were any of you self pay? If so, would you mind sharing with us how much you paid for your sleeve surgery and your doctor's name?
