Topic: Anyone in Hagerstown Area?
Hello! I am considering WLS - have been for a couple of years. I keep telling myself that I should be able to lose weight on my own, but after 40-50 pounds I always start gaining back. Anyway, I am hoping to try to lose weight once more on my own before actually getting the surgery done but one way or another I am going to change. I did have a consultation with Dr. Sweitzer at Johns Hopkins two years ago but decided against it at that time. Assuming I do go forward with the surgery, I am curious to know whether any of you are in the Hagerstown area. If so, have any of you gone to the Bariatric Surgery Center at Meritus Medical Center? I really haven't heard anything about it - good or bad. My boss - who is very supportive - still thinks I should go to Johns Hopkins (I work in Baltimore County three days a week).

A few of us got together over the weekend and we enjoyed it so much we decided to do it once a month. I've created a Yahoo group to keep up with the where's and when's.

Topic: RE: Post surgery provider advice, please...
Hopkins/Bayview has been FABULOUS not sure if Dr. Steele is seeing patients again because she went back to school. I chose her as my surgeon knowing that I would not see her very much post op but her PA (Colleen Abell) and the other surgeons have been there for me (including during a 6 day hospital stay and Dr. Steele actually came to see me 3 times during that stay). She is by the book (which I love) and is absolutely awesome (once you get to know her)
Starting weight (12/10) - 346; Surgery day weight (10/11) - 282.4

A group of WLS (mostly RNYers, some VSGers) are planning a meet-up on Sunday, June 3 at 3 PM at the Canton Starbucks on Boston Street in Baltimore. Any and all WLSers....in all stages, including pre-op....are welcome to come join us. We're hoping to make this a regular thing.

He did my surgery on April 25. I found him competent, professional and approachable. Thumbs up from me.
