Hi All!

I'm looking for sleevers in the DMV area. I hope to be sleeved in August and it's really hard to find good support groups in this area. Feel free to post here or send me a message!

Hello! My surgery was done by Dr. Cantor out if holly cross hospital.

Dr Mo out of GBMC.. Greatest doc great bedside manner.

I sometimes wonder was there anuthing done. I'm like maybe the stomach is still there n they are lying to me. I don't know how different I thought I would feel...how do u feel when u eat. Mind u I started full liquid today n felt tightening n constriction...I'm guessing that's not normal

My doc told me its normal cuz there is swelling and healing going on. I'm on purees and sometimes it still hurts to eat. Drinking first thing in the morning sometimes hurts. Last week I had a golf ball feeling in my stomach when I drank. My doc told me that would go away and it has. Everyone heals differently. Some people feel no pain when they first eat or drink. Everyday gets a little better

Frederick MD here! Going to Hopkins baybiew also!

I actually went to Dr. Salameh...why?...because he was the only one who took care credit but he was a great choice! I work at the Crime Museum. If everyone wants to get together one day we could all meet at my museum and have a meet up! It might be fun!

That would be fun :-)

Oh, cool. I've always wanted to go to the Crime Museum!

I'm from Maryland and my surgery is scheduled for Oct. 5 at Johns Hopkins by Dr. Lidor.

Dr Mo out of GBMC.. Greatest doc great bedside manner.

I agree! I was sleeved Aug 7 by Dr. Mo and he was absolutely wonderful.

Hi! I'm in Gaithersburg - work in DC. I'm new here but being sleeved soon. I've finished all of my pre-op appointments and had my last appointment with my surgeon on Wednesday (I'm using Dr. Brebbia with MedStar)... now I'm just waiting on the insurance to give the final ok... He said it shouldn't take long...

Call me a glutton for punishment, but I'm actually starting my pre-op diet Monday even though he only requires two weeks - I figure I may be on for an extra week or two but it's an opportunity for me to lose a little more weight since right now my appetite seems to be lower than normal (I just weaned off of two months of high dose Prednisone).

I'm glad to have found this group because I haven't found a local support group yet...

I live in Alexandria. Sleeved at Blue Point Group in Fair Lakes on July 11. Down 65 lbs and living a normal life.
