My surgeon is Dr. Mark Fontana with Sentara, just wondering if anyone else out there is going through the same group. My surgery is sched 9/17; it'd be nice to contact others in my area.

Hi,

I am with Norfolk Surgical and also have Dr. Fontana. I have completed all my requirements and just waiting for my surgery date! How long did it take to get your surgery date?

Thanks!

hello,

I am not with the norforlk group, but with the carplex group.. but just recently got banded.. but I do understand they are a nice group..

hope all goes well for you

After I completed my last class it took a week to get my surgery date, which was about a month from notification. I went to the seminar in May and completed all my stuff the second week of July. I really like Dr. Fontana, but the hoops one has to jump through get a bit annoying. And somewhat redundant. However, I totally understand their desire to weed out those who aren't dedicated to success!

Hey ya'll, im with that group, but I have Wohlgemuth. I know I spelled that wrong! :wink: My date is october twenty second, which is also my five year wedding anniversary! My process went very quickly, but, i'm self pay, so, they told me that might be the case. im so very excited.

Congrats! I went to Dr. W's seminar (I'm not even going to TRY to spell it!), but chose Dr. Fontana b/c he was available when I called. They're all pretty swell though. The only negative thing about their practice is the redundant nature of the pre-op classes! Other than that, they've all been really helpful and calming.
