See my reply to your earlier email:  I'm pretty sure Walter Reed still has a good bariatric program.  Don't know of any other military programs or military surgeons in northern VA area.  There are 3 of us ex-military types here in Richmond, although it's a bit of a hike (90 minutes IF there are no backups on I-95!)

i absolutely LOVE Dr Halmi.  He was my lifesaver!

 Dr. Halmi did my open RNY and l have tricare prime and he did an excellent job!!!  I recommend him without reservation!

Hi, I am a military spouse in Virginia.  Are you in Kentucky?  This is a VSG forum for VA.  If you are in VA or you will be in VA.  I can give you the contact info for the military bariatric program.  It is self-contained, they take care of everything.  Let me know if you need the info. for VA. 

Also do you have Tri-care Prime or standard?

If you are looking for one in VA, just go to Portsmouth Naval. Don't let them  stick you with Dr. Barker though. He will make your life hell.

I go to portsmouth. My surgery is July 7 with Dr. McPhee. I am so excited. Do you go to the nutrition classes and support group meetings? We are having a meeting this Thursday, June 3 at 7p.m. in the cafeteria on the 1st floor. Alot of us are bringing a covered dish. Please come.

I had my surgery at NMCP, what happend with Dr. Barker?
