I live in Frederick County Maryland but my surgeon is in Reston/Fairfax.

I just had my first meeting yesterday. I'm torn between the bypass and the sleeve.

Welcome to the Nova thread Tiffany . My surgery is with Dr moazzez at Fair Oaks Hospital November 4th. is Dr Halmi with Blue Point Surgical group ? Which hospital will you use?

Dr. Halmi is with BP. He did my surgery.

Is there anyone in the Woodbridge area? I would love to find a walking buddy!

Anyone in DC? My surgery will be on Nov 17th @ Sibley. I was hoping to meet others locally that are going through this.

Not far from.... NoVa

I know this is an old topic but I just found you all. I am having surgery with Dr Fitzer, Oct 28th . I remember Pik for other posts and Amylif2 but everyone else is new.

Would love the ear from you and how things are going.

Hear not ear.

Hi Beni welcome to the Nova thread. I'm in staying connected with people who use bluepoint Surgical group and how they're progressing before during and after surgery. Dr fitzer is with Blue Point Surgical Group right? Are you having your surgery at Fair Oaks? Must be getting ready to start your pre-op liquid diet soon. Have you felt your experience has been so far with all the pre op stuff the doctor visits the nut visits etc. Stay in touch if you want my surgery is November 4th at fair Oaks

Hi Beni!

My date is October 21 with Dr. Moazzez. I'm really excited and can't wait for it to be over now!! 19 more days!! Good luck with your surgery and keep us posted!!!

Hi Becca I can't believe you're only days away from your surgery. How are you doing? Are you getting nervous are you excited? Just touching base to stay in touch. Good luck on the 21st. I loved Dr moazzez when I met him.... You're in great hands. Let me know how the hospital is once you're finished your surgery and feel a little up to it. Curious how your experience while in the hospital goes. Talk to you later

Hi Jenn!

I am both excited and nervous, but mostly ready for this to be over!! I really like Dr. Moazzez, too. He let me do a 1 week pre-op diet instead of the normal 2 week, because I can't stand the taste of the Protein shakes! Plus, he told me to get whatever kind I can drink, although this was after I paid for the stuff they make you buy at the office! Oh well. I'm just glad I am not having to drink it!! I hope you like it when it's your time to start.

I will let you know how all goes once I get home! Thanks for thinking about me!! See you on the other side!!!!!

I'm on the eastern shore just over the bridge in MD. I'm looking to get VSG in the Spring. Anyone care to share where they are having surgery? Also, if you don't mind, how long after approval was your actual surgery if you've already had it? Thanks in advance!
