Question:
Anyone in Richmond VA?

I'm scheduled for lap surgery on 11/21/02 and would really like to meet/talk to someone in the Richmond, VA area. I live in Chesterfield and am really starting to get nervous. My pre-op is this Friday 11/8. My surgeon is Dr. Gary Harrington.    — valynn (posted on November 6, 2002)

Don't be nervous, you are in great hands with Dr Harrington. He did my lap surgery April 25th and I have lost 96 lbs. Never been happier. I live in King William and found Dr Harrington through a friend who had him do her surgery almost 2 years ago. He has the best bed-side manner and is so comforting. I have referred my friends to him he is so good. If you have come this far, I'm sure you are ready for a lifestyle change. The surgery was a snap, very little pain after and no stitches to be removed, everything was on the inside. Relax and enjoy the journey to the lighter side! You'll be amazed at the changes by Christmas. My e-mail is [email protected] if you want to talk. Good luck and God Bless!

Hi! I am in Richmond, although I had my surgery by Harrington's partner, Dr. Hutcher. I had mine 4/9/02 and as of today have lost 102 lbs. Look in the database for Michelle Wilson, she had the lap by Harrington, and is doing very well!!! Email her, I am sure she would love to share her experiences. Wishing you well!! Nancy

Hey sweetie- I too live in Chesterfield and had LAP RNY Oct. 2nd -28 lbs. by Dr. Martin whose a partner at Commonwealth surgeons. I'd be happy to meet/talk with you if you'd like. Just let me know. I also have a bunch of books from my research if you'd like to borrow them. Hope to talk to you soon. Good luck!!
