Just wondering if there were any Richmond Va sleevers out there nearing the losers bench I'm in the pre sleeve stage but looking at the end of June beginning of July as surgery date TBD . I'd love to connect with locals at least in the 804, 757, or 540 area codes! Please add me if your in Virginia!

Hi skinniminiwannabe! I love your user name. I'm in Fredericksburg. My surgeon will be Brennan Parmody MD, Bon Secours. I'm in month 2 of my PCP supervised diet (BCBS Fed) I can't wait for surgery!

Richmond, here!

Good morning! I'm in Chesapeake, with surgery in Newport News. I went to a seminar on Saturday, did a 1on 1 Tuesday and will probably have a July or August date. It's going much faster than I thought, with only a few prerequisites. We have a vacation planned in early July, so I'll wait til after for surgery.

Richmond, VA here. Drinking my Water now... biggest struggle for me the past few weeks. You must be getting excited about your summer surgery!

Woohoo! Having sleeve surgery July 21 with Dr. Bautista, BS St. Mary's. Starting to consider protein shake products. Any suggestions?

Congrats on your date KG! My surgeon is Dr. Carmody out of St. Mary's. Hoping to get my date soon, just need to finish some tests.

Good luck!

. Lauri407 we have the same Dr! Only thing I'm waiting on is nutritional appt the date to be scheduled!

Drinking water is one of my 3 adjustments thus far. I've also cut out all carbonation (boo hoo!) and weaning off caffeine. So far these are my obstacles. I set alarm on my phone to remind me about water. It's not that I don't like water, I simply forget! I have menopause brain.
