Hi I live in Leesburg and need to find a Dr who will support me in getting WLS. My current Dr won't even let me go see a surgeon so I have to pay out of pocket. If you are near Leesburg, Sterling, Dulles or Loudoun County please let me know who your Dr is.

Thanks.

Dr Neerahja Thathagari, 4229 Lafayette Center Dr, Suite 1425, Chantilly, VA  20151  703-961-1119. Her office is a couple of miles west on US 50 and 28 near Dulles. She started most of my pre-op required testing and wrote the letter needed to document my cormorbidities for my surgeon. You might want to attend one of Dr Elariny's info sessions. He does them at Fairfax Hospital and Fair Oaks.

Good luck!

Hi MajorMom,

I just moved from Atlanta Georgia and I"m now currently living in Chantilly, Virginia.

Direct me if you mind to a good support group.  I would really appreciate, thank you.

Hi Tracey,
I'm currently going to Dr Elariny's support group in Falls Church/Vienna at Fairfax Hospital. His dietitian is pretty new but she's not preachy and listens to us. It's about the only one I know of that has DSrs. Some of us used to go to the Staple Club in Chantilly but I'm not as comfortable there since Sally left. The next Fairfax Hospital group will meet on Jan 4th.  Some of us meet at the Merrifield Swee****er Tavern at 5PM and go over to the hospital from there. Would love to have you join us.

Okay, I will see about making it there. ...if I can not make it to the Tavern, I will definitely make it to the hospital. What time does the support group meeting start Wednesday?  I can get off work at 5.

Support group is the first Tuesday every month and starts at 7PM. We kill 2 hours at Swee****er Tavern so just come when you can get there and you can follow us over to the hospital.

How about the 22nd at Westfields Texas Roadhouse? I think Jill can meet us there. Say between 5 and 5:30?
