Any one from Hamton Roads Virginia

Looking to see if there are others near me and if they go to support meetings and where?

    Hsbower,

    I didn't have a waiting period. I just had to have a review of my medical records proving my weight for the last 3 years.

    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?

    I think I'm leaning towards sleeve

    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!
