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."

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?

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!

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. :)

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.

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
