New to site!

I am from North Central WV and am looking to get as much information I can about WLS and the options, Dr's, any and all recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

I look forward to making new "friends".
Thank you

Hi turlelover,
I am in Morgantown, but my surgeon is in Huntington WV. As far as surgeons in this region, I really don't know. I originally found my surgeon by reading his reviews on this site. You can search WV surgeons and read about them. I have nothing but praise for my doc, but don't know if you would be able to have the surgery that far from Buckhannon. I have family down near Huntington who took me to the surgery and I stayed with them during recovery. The first 3 days of recovery were the most difficult. I had laproscopic banding, with the Realize Band. You can read my profile for info on how I have progressed in the past year. Feel free to message me with questions. I am only on about once a week, so it may take me a while to respond.

I live in Charleston WV and my surgeon is also here. Someone where I work (and his wife) had the Lapband procedure done and recommended him. I had the RNY bypass and am very happy with it. Dr Rossi and his staff are great. I highly recommend him.There are several other surgeons in this area that do both procedures. Good luck with your search.

 I am from Fairmont and am scheduled for surgery September 29th, this coming Tuesday!  I would highly recommend Dr Akkary at Ruby Memorial.  He is the nicest, kindest person.  Their whole staff is great.  He gives you his cell number, etc and will take the time to talk to you about whatever you have questions about.  Really, I have nothing but nice things to say about them.
