I have blue cross

I'm going to a surgeon in Richmond because that group is under my umbrella as far as insurance goes. I just feel really comfortable so far with them.

I totally understand. Good luck. Are you getting the sleeve or gastric bypass?

Holly, the sleeve has been good to me but my friend had the bypass and got to goal in six months. Just putting it out there.

Smb1966 that's awesome, you're doing great! You should try the support groups at Sentara Weight Loss Center in Norfolk! I agree, way too far and too much traffic to drive to NN!

Thank you. Do you know if Sentara has them at any location other than Harbour View? I will call someone this week to find out, everything I see online refers to HV and that's pretty far to go as well.

I don't know where HV is but I know there's a support group that meets at the center in Norfolk-it's down the street from Sentara Leigh Hospital if that helps!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
