Thanks! I am going to the Obesity Center in Washington DC. Dr. Moazzez. When I went I actually saw someone else I knew that lived down the street. It's the only center in DC that is designated as a center of excellence.

Hello fellow Marylanders.

I have Aetna open access. Hopefully they approve me. I know I qualify and I just need to have confidence which is hard to come by these days. I have my first nutritionist appointment on Aug. 13. I guess I'll find out then when I should start having tests... I'm crossing my fingers that the 3 months go by quickly. I've been reading and am getting more excited!!

Hello everyone! I am a fellow Marylander but in Western Maryland and I went with Dr. Gorman's office in Chambersburg, PA. He is with the Bariatric Group there.

I am scheduled for surgery on Thursday 8/28! What an exciting time after going through the 6 month process with Aetna! Glad to finally be here with just a few days to go.

I have started my 5 day fast to prepare for surgery. Tough, but definitely worth it!

Hi All, I'm planning on getting banded but I don't know if I'll be accepted. I'm 5 ft. 4 in. and 215 lbs. I have arthritis. My hips kill me when I try to walk a lot. And my knees give me a fit. I'm going to go to a seminar at Harford Memorial with Dr. McKenna. Has anyone had Dr. McKenna and how did it go?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
