Great idea   I am doing water at LA Fitness in Woodbridge       Good luck and enjoy

I'm looking into plastics now and am interested in Dr. L in TX and Dr. K up in nova.  (I believe they cowrote a book about plastics in WLS patients.) 

Any other recommendations?

If you used either of these surgeons, how was your experience?  Your results?

Thanks!

Potomac is now a Bariatric Center of Excellence.  I think that the new Bariatric center there includes bariatric trained anesthesiologists.  I'm sorry you had a bad experience in the past.  I live in Woodbridge, but drove to Fredericksburg to have my baby because of concerns about Potomac.  I am feeling much better about WLS there, because it is a self contained unit. 

Transfer addictions is extremely common in WL arena. Never mind that the majority of us gain our weight back.     Just because someone says they are a support system does not mean they are qualified.      I would be outraged is a doctor offered a ****tail at a support group and so would I be with anyone else.   

We need support each other with healthy and nutritional support not empty and wasteful calories.   I have aleast a dozen WL Patients that are struggling with re weight gain and alcoholism.     That is a fact not a rumor
  

 

Thanks  Megan        My comments were not  out of spite but for someone to not get hurt as I did.   The cheif anesisist and asst. were involved in my surgery.   Doctor filed a complaint as they lied on the official reports.     I have spoken to other doctors who have left Potomac due to the same kind of experience I have gone through.   

The surgeons are not the problem.   To have a quality surgury you need a highly qualified anestisist.... We are heavy and require intebation.... our airways are narrow.  

Fair Oaks Hospital requires all anesisists to be bariatric trained ... I have absollutely no trama with the last 3 surgerys at Fair Oaks.... The hospital is 1st rate and WLS patients are hi risk and need just that 1st rate !
