Having VSG in a couple of days! Any hampton roaders out there?

Make sure you are walking every day too. I usually walk around the block a few times and if I feel good I will do 1or 2 more. Walking helps get everything moving and burn calories. The more walking the better at this stage since you are not really consuming too many calories a day and walking will increase the calories you burn everyday. If you burn more calories than you consume you will loss weight.

Everyone in Newport News who was/is your doctor?

Dr Raheb @ Portsmouth Naval Medical

How much are self pays in Hampton Roads having to spend on the surgery? I found out that Dr. Clark charges around 14K, Dr. Terracina charges around 16K, Sentara Metabolic Weight Loss Center in Norfolk charges $21K+. Is anyone aware of any other reputable doctors that perform the sleeve surgery for less?

I haven't found anyone any cheaper but I will say that Dr. T's fee dosen't include any pre-op tests or visits after either I think. I know for sure not the pre-op. Dr. C includes all pre-op tests, the surgery, hostpital, drugs, etc., and a year of checkup ups, gym classes and nutrition classes. He is double board certified in surgery and medicine and really wants you to succeed in maintaing your loss.

I'm in Smithfield. Looking to get my surgery with Dr. Clark in Newport News.

I am planning on having my surgery with Dr. W at sentara weight loss in Norfolk hoping for a date in aug. or sept.

I have my surgery scheduled for July 10th with Dr. Clark in Newport News. When comparing his program to Dr. Terricina's I just felt like Dr. Clark's team offered a bigger support group for post-surgery.

From NC but I am getting sleeved on July 11 in Norfolk.
