Topic: RE: Hello
Kendra I agree with Caroline..I would go for surgery at Fair oaks. I do not like Potomac hospital and would not trust them with my life nor my kids life. The ride home is kind of bumpy if you have to go over speed bumps other than that it was fine i didnt have any trouble with the ride home.
Topic: RE: anyone with surgery date of 9/15?

Topic: RE: Hi
Kendra,
We used to have a support group in Fredericksburg, but no longer.
You might want to try some of the Aqua classes at the Y, easier on the joints and easier due to buoyancy. Then you can keep working your way up to more strenous classes as your fitness level increases. I'll be resuming my Aqua Arthritis class on Thursday nights in October. I've been sidelined this month due to plastic surgery!

Seriously? We need to be accountable for what we eat AND drink. I don't drink, but if she has a ****tail hour and I was there I wouldn't feel compelled to. I think anyone who wants to do something to support WLS patients should be commended, not condemned.

Wow with the high rate of alcoholism with WL Patients you are encouraging a ****tail hour.
I have tried to keep an open mind about you. So the rumors are true you do enrougage drinking. Shame on you We need good habit support not negative.

Hello I had VSG with Dr Moazzez out of Fair Oaks Hospital. I would not consider RNY and glad I did the VSG. I feel normal with no issues. Keep in mind that all WLS is just a tool
My fullness is in my lower tummy not up in the high chest as is with the RNY and Band
It is hard finding people to talk to with VSG
Good luck Keep in touch

Topic: RE: Dr. Gregory Adams, Bon Secours Surgical Weight loss center..
I used Tidewater Surgical Specialists. Although Dr Salzberg is my doctor, Dr Adams and she operate together so he was in my operating room. They really are a great team!! You are in good hands.
