Hello, I had my surgery in Norfolk with Sentara Metabolic Weightloss Center with Dr. Wagamouth. Awesome practice. Where are you in the process "what hoop".? Wishing you the best!

Dr. Clark is also my surgeon as well. Did everyone have outpatient surgery or did you stay overnight? A little mervous about being kicked out of the hospital too fast!

I was outpatient as most of Dr Clark's patient's are. I had issues after surgery and they didn't try to push me out. I left around 5 pm and I was the first surgery for that day.

I was sleeved outpatient by dr Clark on 7-16...no problems and he is WONDERFUL! I was very happy with him as my surgeon and really love his staff.

Dr Clark is pretty great, very involved with their patients, staff is also great. I was out of hospital the same day but they are always a phone call away if I had any concerns.

Thank you! I admit I have been doing way too much reading of complications in the other forums which makes me nervous. I keep telling myself Dr. Clark has done SO many that I am good hands. How have y'all done post surgery??

Hi, I'm being sleeved by Dr. Mann at Portsmouth navel hospital. Glad to see there are others in hampton roads, I'm feeling a little alone in this process. I am excited and scared at the same time, but ready for an exciting journey.

I used Dr. Terracina and what I found out with calling the scheduler is that I call her number after office hours. Never had a problem getting with Jennifer when I reached out this way.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
