Just curious. I see a lot of people from the West coast and up north like Jersey and PA...

@@Essence46, how was your experience with Dr. Rickford? I've only met with home during the first workshop and the consultation. I'm just finishing up my six nutrition classes and they will be submitting for approval hopefully tomorrow.

@@Fatdiva14, my experience with Dr. Rickford has been amazing. I don't have any complaints or issues. Never had to wait long to him. Always got answers to any questions I had. We had a rough time stabilizing my blood pressure when I first came home from the hospital. His team were very responsive. My husband was in constant contact with his team after hours and over the weekend. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions. Good luck.

Music to my ears. I have heard great things about Dr. Rickford, and your experience validates that I have made the right choice. I definitely will take you up on your offer, if I have any questions!

Hey there neighbor. I'm from Baltimore, MD. I had my surgery September 30, 2014 at MedStar Franklin Square Hospital. Good luck on your journey.

Hey!!! Awesome!!! Congratulations on your surgery! How are you doing?

I'm doing good. I've lost 27 lbs. Slow loser, but it's a lost. The entire month of November I stalled. I was so happy when the scale moved. Be prepared for the stalls. Focus on the NSV's during the stall. You will lose inches even though the scale doesn't move.

Congratulations! Yeah I've heard a lot about the stalls. Scary but I think the NSVs are a lot more fun to see. Especially since I don't really like to weigh myself. Lol

What is NSV?

Oh..OK...Thx. By the way, I'm originally from the DC area but living in Nebraska. I will be home this summer, it would be nice to meet up and just Marvel over our New Self's...LOL. When was your surgery and what did you have and how is your progress?

I especially Miss DC during the Holidays. Hope to talk to ya soon.

"DC IN DA' HOUSE!" lol

I live in DC! I had my surgery with Dr. Moazzez in Fair Oaks (Fairfax) on August 12th. It's been quite the journey so far and I am really content with my decision to have the sleeve.
