Dr. Robert Pinnar and his staff are incredible. He accepts most insurance so that was helpful. His number is 703-709-9701

I love his PA, Paul as well as his nurse, Sue. They are very supportive and personable. I had my surgery April 4, 2008 and could'nt be happier!!

Hello, Colorado, I know I'm coming into this late, but I just got banded last Friday by Dr. Robert Pinnar and I live in Leesburg as well!!

Yes, I did join it, but all I did was set up a user name. It was done late a few evenings ago, so I didn't really have time to read or post. Looking forward to the PM! Heading out to rent a movie. I've been off all week and getting bored.

Today is the best I've felt since surgery. YAY!

Hi All:

We have been doing some organizing behind the scenes and are setting up a super info site called FitLink.com. They are going to host a Bariatric section specifically designed to help people who are 50 plus pounds overweight. Stay tuned. They should have an online journal soon as well.

Also check out the lecture series I am doing in Herndon, VA called Big fat Mistakes! You can read more about it www.Sequoiahealth.com. It is going to offer solutions to the most common mistakes people make in their weight loss Quest. It is also going to introduce The Healthy Weight Loss Wheel; an easy way to manage all the important aspects of a healthy weight loss program.

Take care,

Woody

Hello and welcome! Their office is wonderful, isn't it?? Once ColoradoChick and I figure out what we're doing, we'll let everybody know (she and I both went back to school...).

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
