Topic: X-Post- Dr. Krieger in No. VA
Hi,

I have been looking into getting plastics done.  I already had 1 consultation with Dr. Kreiger and really liked him.  I have another scheduled for end of August and hope to get an extended tummy tuck and breast lift with Augmentation done in November of this year.

Wondering if anyone else has had plastics done with him?  How was your expereince?  Would you be willing to share your before and afters with me (pics)

Thanks for any and all input and comments.

Welcome to Virginia Beach!!!

I will actually be leaving this area soon (end of August).  However, I wanted to let you know about the Bon Secours support group.  It meets the 2nd Thursday of the month at the Bon Secours in Va Bch (828 Healthy Way) at 6pm.  It is usally well attended with RNYers, both Bon Secours patients and non- Bon Secours patients, of all ages.

I hope to see you there!!

 Good luck on your new group. We now have a very good maint group at St. Mary's, which has now been closed to newbies and pre-ops. We just started meeting 2x a month - once at the hospital and the second group on the town (this month we met at Panera's) Sounds like your group will be a great addition to the available options.

Topic: RE: Believe Protein Drinks
 I LOVE Believe Cappachino and periodically suck it up and order, usually wait until they have a sale to offset shipping. Achieve One USED to have a really good product, but changed there formula and ruined it. If you like coffee protein, go to Amazon and order up some Click Mocha protein powder - very tasty!

Hi Virginia Neighbors-

The Roanoke Rapids WLS support group will meet this Thursday, July 28, at 6 PM at the Halifax Health Links in the local mall.  We are a relatively new group and want others to know about us.  We will have a program focusing on protein and will have samples of some available products.

We are just across the state line from Emporia/Skippers on Interstate 95.  Hope those in the southern part of Virginia will consider attending.  Janice

All those things sound great and I am going to print this and save it in our book of things to do.  For now, we have decided to do some camping in the Shenandoah Park, definitely do the Skyline Drive and then head home.  

We're trying to save some money because our son may be getting married next year.  Our original plan was to fly out to Vancouver and spend about 10 days out there.  I've been told that the Sandbar Restaurant (which I believe is in Stanley Park) is a MUST SEE.  There's also the Capilano bridge - our youngest son was out there in February to see the Olympics and he said it was a good site - he recommended renting bikes and touring through Stanley Park that way. 

I bet you're going to have a great trip.  And thanks for all your info.
L.

Topic: RE: OT: Virginia Vacation

I live in the Washington DC area and very often vacation in different places in Virginia.  It really depends on what you want to do and see when you are down here.  Naturally, Washington DC has the world class museums, restaurants, and hotels. As cities go, I really love driving around looking at all the interesting architecture. Massachusetts Avenue with all its embassies from around the world is a favorite. All the museums in the Smithsonian Institute are free.  My favorites are the Air & Space, American History, and the National Art Gallery but there are many others you could spend an entire week in.  DC in August is hot and muggy so plan accordingly.  You will want to be indoors (or at least in an air conditioned tour bus) for a part of the time.  The view is worth the wait at the top of the Washington Monument.  I also highly recommend getting a Tourmobile ticket.  It will take you to all the sightseeing spots for one low price. You can get on and off as you please. 

Virginia has a lot of colonial and civil war history.  In addition, if you really want to see the Blue Ridge Mountains, you should plan a drive along Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park. Just outside the park there are numerous bed and breakfasts and inexpensive hotels.  I stayed in a cabin inside the park which was a lot of fun but a bit rustic. My favorite part of that trip was going horseback riding for the very first time.  It is unbelievably peaceful at night and I’m sure you will love it.  It will be about 10 degrees cooler in the mountains and the shade from the trees helps too.  If you are outdoors type people, you will really like Shenandoah.

While you are here, I will be touring Alaska and Vancouver.

Topic: RE: Any VSG Patients here from Hampton Roads area?
 Hi, Paula sorry my first response was to the other lady who has already had the surgery when I clicked the link it took me to what she had wrote.  I am sorry you have had slippage with your band.  When I originally started going through this process I wanted the band then My doc convinced me RNY would be better for the amount of weight I needed to lose.  Now they just recently started offering the sleeve and that is the surgery I have finally choosen after this long road lol  Hope to have it done Aug. 22 so unfortunately I have no info to offer you but Good luck and maybe in a couple months I might have more info after being sleeved lol Take care, kerry
