Dr. Robert Pinnar - LOVE Dr. Pinnar's Office



Recommended Posts

I was scheduled to go to a seminar with Dr. Pinnar on the 23rd of this month, but his office is SO FAR from me. I live in Waldorf. So I found Dr. Brian Long at Sibley in N.W., and I am going to a seminar at Sibley on Saturday. I am glad to hear more good things about Dr. Pinnar and I will keep my options open and see how I feel about Dr. Long after Saturday. Good Luck to you!

I absolutely ADORE Dr. ROBERT Pinnar's office! Paul is the first doc I have ever looked forward to see to get stuck by a needle. :rolleyes:

Sue is also great and full of fantastic information, and Shara greets you with a smile.

I would highly recommend them for your WLS consideration!

I was banded May 8th with Dr Pinnar and Paul. I just love them and their whole staff.

Happyme2009, for me Dr Pinnars office is a hike also (about 25 miles) I live in Kingstowne. but I did MUCH research on Lapband doctors and I decided that for me, I will travel to Dr Pinnars office reguardless of the miles. And I have not regretted once. Good luck with which ever doctor you choose, in the end its about getting healthy and we are:)

For anyone deciding on a doctor, go to the lapband website and check out their experience and qualifications. You cant go wrong with Robert Pinnar and his staff.

I was banded by Dr. Robert Pinnar's son, Eric. He left his father's office and let me tell you, because of Sue and Paul, I transferred myself to Dr. Robert's office. After you are banded you don't see the surgeon that much, but the support staff is phenomenal! Paul does the fills and Sue is in the office for your check-ups/weigh in. I love them both more than I can even say!

I live in Dale City, VA (about 40 miles each way) and would travel twice as far to Reston to see Paul and Sue. The office is excellent and well worth the drive.

NOTE: I am not knocking Dr. Robert Pinnar, he's amazing as well! :-)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
