Hi mallymaven! I'm going to have my surgery at Roanoke Carilion with Dr. Salzberg, What about you?

[Fitgirl2be 4]

Hi! I'm having mine there as well; however, my Dr is Dr Lucktong. He's been the only one doing VSG in Roanoke for a while. I didn't realize they had another Dr there. Is he new?

Yes. He just started in the last year there, but he has 10 years experience. I'm way excited but it's gonna be a long wait. Instead of a supervised diet, I have to do 12 (in my 4th) months of a health education program. It's basically a 30 minute phone call with a nurse through my insurance. Sucks.

Wow! 12 months is quite long. I have to have a 6 month medically supervised diet and I have 2 months left on that. My surgery is planned for January 2017. Long story but I have to wait that long due to some scheduling problems on my side. I haven't met Dr Lucktong yet. My appt with him is in October. I'm interested in finding out more info on Dr Salzberg. I'll have to do some digging lol.

Let me know what you find out, cause I can't find much info on him. lol
