Who did you see for your psych eval? I saw someone Dr. Schroder's office recommended and it was relatively painless. I had been through it once before with lap band and knew the questions they were going to throw at me.

I saw Mary Wells with Sheltering Arms. I thought because of my back injury she would be a good fit for me and I was terribly wrong. She was cruel and mean and I reported her to the surgeon. No way am I supposed to leave a psychologists office feel g like a lower life form. If she blocks me I'm getting g a second opinion.

She definitely doesn't sound like a good fit. If you need to see someone else, let me know. I can give you the name of the psychologist I saw. She was great...albeit a little slow on paperwork. But, overall a really good experience.

I'm from the Alexandria/Arlington area.

Richmond here! I decided on Dr. Brengman for my surgeon but work with him, Dr. Schroder, and their new partner Dr. Barker in the OR. What a talented and caring group of surgeons!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Schroder's whole practice! I had amazing care, great follow up, and unbelievable results. And, he is my biggest cheerleader! Good luck with your journey!!!

I met with Mandy the nutritionist at Dr Shroeder's office a couple days ago. She is a dollbaby, just as sweet as she can be, I called her today with a question and before she called me back she checked everything and said I was being submitted in the next couple of days. She didn't have to go to that trouble but she did. There are really wonderful people at that office. She said I should be about six weeks out now.

Hi. Just stumbled upon this thread. I am a Dr. Barker patient in Richmond. Had a band to bypass conversion on June 3rd. Looking for anyone local who wants to buddy up and share experiences.

NoVa here. Ashburn to be exact. Just got sleeved last week with Dr. Halmi.
