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

Amy

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??

I am in va beach I was sleeved 7/31/13 anyone near here ?

I have had no problems at all and have lost 30lbs and want to lose about 25 more.

Hi, I am using Dr. Terricina in Newport News has anyone else used his office I seem to have a hard time getting his staff to return phone calls otherwise their great I've done all the pre-op but I don't even know if they have sent it to my insurance for approval yet called my insurance and they don't show anything pending I'm getting anxious. Want to get things moving been at this since January.

I have a friend who used Dr. Terriccina for her lap band many years ago. She really likes him.

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.

Hi I'm glad to see others as well I also joined obesity help and joined the Hampton Roads group but no one is active same has also pretty much been the case on here I was starting to think I was alone too.

I realize it's been a while since anyone has posted in this thread. I am in Virginia Beach, just sleeved October 24th, 2013!!

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'm looking to make a FB page of VSG people in Hampton Roads. I'm currently in a November sleevers group and I enjoy it very much. With 88 replies here in this group there (I know replies doesn't mean 88 different people) has to be a spot where all of us can get together since we are so close in distance.

I attempted to make a page so I can give the information in this post, but they asked for who i'm adding....and i'm not sure if any of ya'll have the same name on there. So please, if you want to join a FB group of the same name please send me a private message. I intend to make the whole group 'secret' so the group doesn't show up at all.
