Hi All - I'm in Va Beach and had RNY surgery in 2009. I've regained some weight(almost 100 lbs) but I'm determined to get back to goal. I'm interested in meeting people who would like to get out and walk with me and have conversations. I'm a positive person and looking for others who share similar goals.
Did insurance approve the surgery? If so, any advice?
Hello I was wondering did u ever get approved? I'm currently going thru this long process and I have Medicaid in Va (Premier) as well. Please help me out?????
What did you end up doing? I'm in northern Virginia and I had RNY in 2012. Went from 257 to 130. Now I'm at 206 and I want revised surgery. I will not gain all my weight back. I'm looking for a revision surgeon. My RNY surgeon was fantastic, Dr. Anez, but he's retired now. Do you know of any good bariatric surgeons in northern VA? Thanks!
I am 17 years post op. When I had the Ruex-N-Y surgery in 2002 I went from 358 to 182 in the first 16 months. I stayed at the 182 for about 1 year. I slowly gained and reached a weight of 250 and stayed there till November of 2018 at which time I gained and have gained since then. I am now 280 and I'm afraid that I'll get back up to my original weight. I have been thinking about taking weight loss pills (OTC or even prescribed). What are your thoughts? Thank you all for your time and thoughts!! Take care everyone!!

I had surgery with his partner Dr. Bregnman. I met Dr. Schroder and didnt really care for him. So how did it all go? Im almost 5 years post op.

I was just reading your posts and was wondering if you ended up having a reversal? Or if the doctor was able to help you get your RH under control.
HI Gang,
This will be a cross post.
If you live in the NoVa or DMV area and want to take up running, there is a new Meetup.com group called BEGINNER RUNNER LADIES OF NOVA.
They are having their first practice run at Aurora HIlls Branch library. It is free to join the group. From what I understand, it will be run/walking.
"where we'll run together. We will be running/walking 3 miles, but if that's too long for you, you're welcome to join us for less!"
Aurora Hills Branch Library I will be there if you want a friend/companion to talk to (I hate going places alone myself!). Best wishes! -SS
