Hi there! Just joined bariatric pal & was so happy to see posts from fellow Marylanders! I go to school in Catonsville, but I live in Frederick & am being sleeved by Dr. Stephen McKenna sometime in October. I've done most of my pre-op clearance stuff. Only the pulmonologist and cardiologist left! I go for a stress test this coming Monday, but I'm not really worried about any of it. My insurance required a six month waiting period, so I've been at this for a few months now. I'll have my clearance appointment at the end of September and I can't wait!

Nice to meet all of you! Wishing you all the best luck!

Just got sleeved on Monday. Dr. Gandsas was my surgeon. I like the program at AAMC and felt prepared (as much as possible) going into the surgery.

I am nova but work in Maryland. Had mine at fair oaks! It is good to see more from our area active on boards.

Have any of you done support group meetings? My hospital is not in neighborhood so have not made monthly meetings though trying to!

@@NewLA thank you! I will look at their sites for info. Do you like the meetings that you attend so far?

Hey MD. If anyone new or shortly post op. I have a few things I am moving on from or off. I over bought powder and have really been relying on premier ready made shakes for convenience. I have a large unopened bag of chocolate bariatric advantage brand shakes. I also have 3 items that are open not completely used 2 bottles of multi vitamin chewables (Bari advantage brand) 1 bottle almost entirely full of Bari adv calcium (I can't do these too berry and too sweet for me) and finally an unopened bottle of liquid Multi vitamin. I work in PG DM if you are interested --- completely free.

Hello! I was recently sleeved 28 April 2016. Although I live in MD I was sleeved at INOVA Fair Oaks in VA.

I'm a newbie and have my first consult with dr moazzez at inova fair oaks tomorrow! How was your experience there? Who was your surgeon?

My surgeon was Dr. Nain. I can honestly say that my experience was great working with the staff at Inova Fair Oaks. Dr. Nain is caring and took his time to explain the different procedures and answer questions. He has a nice disposition and is approachable. The coordinator Pam is wonderful and is always gracious when answering questions. Overall the staff in the office were all helpful and contributed to the great experience I had. They are professional, caring and helpful.

Good luck goaldigger33 I think you will be pleased.
