Relocating to West Virginia....
Hello,
We live in Indiana right now, but my Husband has taken on a new job with CSX in Huntington, W.V. and I was wondering if anyone knew of a good surgeon that could follow my post op care. I had RNY on September 15th..so I am almost 2 months post op. Also we are looking for a nice apartment in this rea and I am having a hard time looking them up online. Is there a specific website for apartment searches in West Virginia? This move is so scary for me because we have lived in Indiana for over 12 years and my baby is only 2 years old so we are moving away from Grandparents and all family as well. I hate this economy but I am thankful tha my Husband was able to find a new job.Thank-you!

Hi Teresa,
I am working in Huntington as I write this. I had surgery at King's Daughters Medical Center, in near by Ashland, Ky. Here is the link, http://www.yourhealthylife.org/, www.kdmc.com, the first is for the weight loss web site and the second is KDMC's web site.
Also in town is St. Mary's Medical Center and Cabell Huntington Hospital. They both have surgical weight loss programs. Here are the links, http://st-marys.org/service_weightloss.php, http://cabellhuntington.org/services/surgical_weight_control /. Hope these help. All three have support groups. You may want to go to a meeting at each one to get a feel for each. Having had surgery and KDMC I have nothing but good things to say about them. I have had a great experience with them. If you go to the above link for your healthy life and watch the video or look at their success stories, I am the guy on the motorcycle.
The company I work for does a lot of business with CSX. I am not sure about an on line resource other than the local paper. http://www.herald-dispatch.com/.
Posts on this board are sporadic at best. Welcome to WV. You may want to look at communities just outside of Huntington. Such as Barboursville. If you live in the city there are service fees that you don't have to pay outside of the city.

Hi Teresa, I also just moved to Huntington (Barboursville actually) from Dayton OH area earlier this summer. Dr Nease at Cabell Huntington would not take me as a follow-up patient so I ended up going with Dr Robards at St Mary's, and glad that I did. His staff is fantastic!
I go to support groups at both St Mary's and with Dr Nease, so I can stay accountable. They meet on different weeks so it works out just fine. When you move here look me up and you are welcome to join me.
As far as finding a place to live, do you know what area of town you want to live in? Moving here I have learned that the best way to find someplace is to drive around the area and look for signs. We rent a house through Garden Park Rentals. They are more expensive, but they allow us to keep our two dogs, which many landlords do not. We live in Barboursville, which is right outside of Huntington, and the crime rate is very low, and it is very quiet and peaceful here. Everyone is super-friendly around WV!
Feel free to contact me. I know what it is like relocating and not having any friends or family. My personal email is [email protected]. Good luck with the move!
