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 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?

      April Surgery
      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
