I am going to having my surgery this spring. I am looking for a mentor/buddy in Virginia that is going through this process about the same time as me. I feel I would do so much better if I had a buddy to help me through this!!

Hello RNMOMOF4, Dr. Brengman is my surgeon and he works with Dr. Schroder. My surgery is tomorrow!

I'm having my surgery at Roanoke with Dr. Salzberg. He is in the same office with Dr. Lucktong. Haven't got a date for surgery yet but i will have finished all of the tests you have to have done in march so I figure it will be April or may .

Dr.Lee at St.Mary's will be my surgeon

Nice to see people from VA posting. If any of you going to Roanoke Memorial are from the Montgomery or Giles Co area I'd love to meet new friends. I have only heard good things about the bariatric surgeons there though I went to Mexico as my insurance did not cover anything to do with WL. Good luck to those of you with upcoming dates.

oh my gosh congrats and good luck!

I had my consultation!! Dr. Lucktong will be doing my surgery. I've already met my 6 month required. All I have left to do is the therapist, dietician, EKG, and the UGI (swallow study). We are going to try to get everything done before March.

Awesome! Dr. Lucktong is a great surgeon and came highly recommended! You and me are on the same track for getting our surgeries! Lauren is trying to get all of my things completed by March too! The only two things I have left are my Psych Eval and the one hour dietician appt which I'm having done in mid February so she is hoping to send to my insurance company then and hopefully will get approval and surgery some time in March!
