Question:
Looking for an EXPERIENCED Laparoscopic Surgeon in Virginia (RNY)

Does anyone have any information on how far I'd have to go from the Norfolk area of Virginia to find a surgeon experienced in performing laparoscopic RNY surgery? I have a date scheduled for "open" surgery, but I'm rethinking it now and want to quickly check into have it done LAP. Many thanks to anyone who can assist! :-)    — Julie C.

The BEST surgeon in VA (or anywhere else, for that matter) who specializes in Lap RNY is Dr. Eric DeMaria at MCV in Richmond,VA. I could go on and on about him, but please feel free to email me at [email protected] if you have any specific questions! Good Luck!

The absolute best doctor for a LAP RNY is at MCV Richmond, Dr. Eric De'Maria. Dr. DeMaria, Head Minimal Invasive Surgery, and his support staff are wonderful. I could go on and on about how grat they are. E-mail me at yogies1@mindspring,com if you have any questions.

You could check out Dr. Rutledge in N.C. Depending on your insurance type, he would be able to it.
