Hi, I am having surgery Friday in Baltimore. I am not sure how 'northern' in VA you are, so I am not sure if this is too far for you. I am from PA and it is 1 1/2 hours for me. The name of my dr is Dr. Vanguri. He does both open RNY and open BPD/DS. He is in the computer under Finding a Dr. So far he has been great and several who post on here have him as their surgeon. Good luck in your search. Jill

Angela, another good surgeon in the NoVA area (who did my surgery) is Dr. William Roll. He is at Fair Oaks. If you look up his information on this website, you will find a phone number and more information.

My Docotr was Dr. Joseph Afram, on M Street in Washington DC. He uses Columbia Hospital for Women for his surgery. He has been doing this surgery for many years. He has also participated in discussions about this surgery on television and many seminars. He also has a organized support group. He is associated with Weight for Life. I highly reccomend him... His phone number is (202) 659-0240. There is also a Doctor Inez (I amnot sure of the spelling) he works out of Fair Oaks Hospital. My girl friend had her surgery with Him. I dont have a phone # for address for him. Please keep in touch, if I can answer any questions, feel free to ask.
