Cira, I am excited for you and will make sure to say a prayer for you tonight and tommorow. I will be looking forward to hearing about your entire visit. You have a great support system here, and it sounds like you are on your way to a healthy life. I would like to attend the Crofton meeting, glad there is something close to home. Good luck, Wendy

Hello Wendy Welcome to the board. I'm a patient of Dr. Von Rueden at GBMC. There are several bariatric clinics in the Baltimore area. It's very important to know the policy of your insurance company going into the process. I'm two weeks out and am doing well. Almost all of the clinics today are focused on the best care for their clients. The process of each is different and the advances that have been made are vast. The day after I was out of the hospital, I returned to driving and have been driving everyday since. The key to this entire process -- following the doctor's orders.
