Anyone here?

Hello! I'm in Morgantown, and a patient of Dr. Akkary. I'm hoping to have surgery in February. I actually started the process three years ago, but due to lack of transportation (Dr. Akkary's clinic was then located in Preston Co, at Preston Memorial Hospital), I didn't get to have the surgery. I did a year-long supervised weight loss with my PCP, but when I went back to see Dr. Akkary at his new clinic in Morgantown, I was told my weight loss had expired. So I had to start again. I have my final evaluation (pulmonary) at the beginning of January, and my final weigh in the middle of next month. I quite like the idea of surgery in February. It feels like a Valentine's gift of love to myself.

Is there anyone here attending Dr. Akkary's support group meetings? I live in Cheat Lake, and would love to have a ride there and back.

Hi Melody,

I'm in Huntington, so not very near you. I did want to at least respond to our post.
