Ok I have my pre op on the 25th but I'm so concern in reference to when is it to late to quit smoking... like how far bk can they detect the smoke

No idea. You should quit as soon as possible. They won't do it if they detect it at all. I know it sounds easier than it is, but I've been there and having a reason to quit helps. You can do it.

I live in between Richmond and Charlottesville. I had my surgery in Charlottesville on 5/23/16 (on my birthday!!) and I'm already 30 lbs down.

I had mine done at Sentara Martha Jefferson Hosp with Dr. Jayme Stokes. He's awesome!!

Nova here had mine at Fair Oaks

I'm in Richmond. I've just recently started the process. My doctor is Dr. Schroeder. I've had my initial consult, decided on the sleeve. Now, I have my NUT appointment next week and my psych eval the following week. My insurance doesn't require much which was such a relief. I'm hoping to submit for insurance approval by mid-August. I'm really excited! It's time to get going! My next steps are figuring out my out of pocket expense and how much time to take off of work.

I'm in Richmond as well! I don't have a surgery date yet. I'm waiting to get approved through my insurance before I get a date. My surgery will be at Bon Secours St. Mary's. Good luck with your journey! ☺
