Alisa,
  I didn't have my surgery with them but I was going to before the military made me go through the military hospital.  I had gone through all the classes and appointments and the support group meetings.  I do know five people who went with them and they did a great job. My only concern is they dont seem to educate the people having the surgery as well as they did me with the military.  Plus through the military we are watched for 2 years and with Harbor View the followup isnt that long.   The support group was  informative and everyone was really nice.  If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me. You can message me anytime.

Yeah for some reason the military sent me to harbor vview for it. Said that they were just too backed up and didnt have the staff..After surgery I wonder if I can switch to portsmouth for my follow up? Do you know if that is possible? I just want to make sure I have the best of care annd everything.

I'm not familiar with Harbor View.

Just wanted to welcome you, and let you know I lived in Suffolk for a couple of years about 15 years back.

Hope to hear from you again.

That is where I had mine done. Dr. Spencer was my primary, but Moore was in the room too. I was a lot of man....

I love Dr. Spencer. He is simply the best. Moore is great too. I have gotten to know him through the support group.

Will you be attending next month? Let me know and I'll look for you.

I had weight loss surgery. I did it the easy way.
