Topic: Gastroenterologist recommendation, please! (X-post)

 

Does anyone have a recommendation for a gastroenterologist in the greater Washington D.C. Metro area? I have developed a stricture and am not entirely happy with my current GI doc in Northern VA.

Thanks!

Topic: Follow up care??
Hey everyone! Have a question for you guys!
1. Who do you see for your follow up care (5+ year I mean). Do you see your surgeon or a GI in that practice or your PCP?

2. If you see a GI who understands GPB/WLS anatomy and related issues, who do you see in the VA/MD/Washington DC area? I'm on the hunt for a GOOD GI who understands vitamin levels, bacteria, etc. specific to our needs.

Thanks guys!!

Wonderful to hear!  I think there's a Woodbridge location that's about 20 minutes from me....

Now if only I could find someone who got VSG done with Dr. Moazzez...

Hey, Blue Point has beeng great, They really know all the insurance plans and eager to help you get approved for surgery. Their office is in fair oaks, that is the only downside, but the staff is super awesome and working with them was the best decsion I made.

Hey Phil!  I'm in Alexandria and also researching Blue Point- trying to find more info on sleeve with Dr. Moazzez.  Already had one consultation with Dr. Brody's office at GWU Hospital.  How has your experience at Blue Point been so far?
