Maryland sleevers?!



Recommended Posts

I am in Frederick as well. I go in for a seminar on Thursday.

I am in Frederick as well. I did look at Dr. McKenna but they required a $600 fee. Therefore I went with Dr. Annor/Dr. Osborne

Anyone familiar with Dr. Stephen J McKenna? His practice is in Frederick and he's affiliated with Holy Cross. I just went to his seminar this evening.

I'm in Silver Spring, btw.

I went to his seminar but ultimately went with another surgeon in Frederick that did not require a $600 out of pocket. I went with Dr. Annor and Dr. Osborne

OMG I've been meaning to update you! Lol! The seminar went great, Dr. Tran wasn't there but I ended up doing my consult with him anyways. I brought in my documentation from the medical weight loss clinic I used last year and he said that should be enough for insurance to approve (it was 8 months). So he got me set up with 2 NUT appts, and I already completed the first one. I have my endoscopy this Thurs, cardiology next Mon, and Pulmonary the last week of this month.

My therapist wrote up my evaluation and she'll send it to Dr Tran's office this week.

So I'm hoping they get it next week and submit to Anthem for approval ASAP, and hopefully I'll have a date scheduled for late March? Fingers crossed! ????????????

I was trying to send you a message and its not working..

How exciting!!

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Tran.. who did you see for NUT? Evelyn? Everyone is super nice there, and all the staff in the hospital was WONDERFUL! That is really soon! Keep me updated on everything! I just went last week for my check up, and I go back in May.. and he said I could meet with plastics and thinks my Tummy Tuck and breast lift might be covered by insurance since I'm having rashes!

@@funke4real I have several friends who have had their surgeries with Dr. Kligman! I almost did my surgery there, but decided on Dr. Tran in DC. I've heard that he has a sort of bad bedside manner, but is a VERY good surgeon, as is his partner (I cannot remember her name though). However, I would NOT recommend their plastic surgery, as my friend did not have a very good experience.

Good luck!

Me! I live in Southern Maryland. I'm in the Obesity Management Program with Dr. Dovec and Dr. Bello at Greater Baltimore Medical Center. It's far away but it was one of the Centers of Excellence suggested by my insurance

Rob from Harford County. I was sleeved on 04/01/16 (last Friday) at GBMC. Dr. Dovec was my surgeon. I have to say the entire experience was amazing. Especially considering this was my first surgery and I was quite nervous.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
