Any Northern VA WLS, open to connecting online and off?

Or just online?

Hi Karaya. I'm not in northern VA, but am in VA. Would be nice to know someone else here. Having trouble finding VA folks.

I'm in NOVA. Surgery July 1

I'm in NOVA and will be getting sleeved 8/26 at Fair Oaks as well.

ETA: I'm planning to go to the BluePoint support group on the 21st. The topic is "body acceptance."

I'm in Va...but not very close to you. I live in the Northern Neck area. Ever heard of it?

Hello all, how exciting to see responses!

Does Bluepoint do their own support group? Or is this the one at Fair Oaks?

I am 5 days post-op, doing okay. Not hungry but there are moments I am craving to chew or taste something.

My surgeon was Dr. Fitzer and surgery took place at Fair Oaks. I started this process about August of 2013, weighing 300 pounds, I weighed myself yesterday and am at 254, still full of air and feeling blimpish

What would you all like to share? Or experiences? Or questions? It feels good to share with others locally!

Annette, I have heard of Northern Neck! I haven't been there. Where are you going for care?

Hi Karaya. I'm not in northern VA, but am in VA. Would be nice to know someone else here. Having trouble finding VA folks.

I'm in SWVA.

I am in NOVA. I actually posted in a VA thread here. My surgery is coming up here soon...four days!

My kids live in Northern Neck. There is a thread about VA that has some Hampton Roads people, just so you know!

Central VA over here!

I'm pretty sure it's the hospital support group. Bluepoint is right there in the building next door, though, so they feel "attached" to me.

I'm planning to go to that meeting on the 21st, too

Annette, I have heard of Northern Neck! I haven't been there. Where are you going for care?

My surgeon is in Richmond. It's about an hour and a half away, but I only have to go in twice a year now so it's not too bad.

I'm planning to go to that meeting on the 21st, too

Are you going to the one in Woodbridge on that day or is that at another location? I had a flyer for it and I don'tk now where I put it.

Pik, are you on a liquid diet yet?
