I used Dr. Carl Lowe in Charlotte, NC he is with Carolina Surgical. He is by far the greatest surgeon alive. His bedside manners as well as him being a faith filled Christian. Prior to surgery he allowed me to pray with him. Follow up care has been amazing.
Dr. Lowe set real expectation for me, I was sleeved on 1/30/15 HW 268 SW 251 CW 201.. Goal weight 155 should be reached by 12/31/15

Dr. Carl Lowe in Charlotte is amazing along with staff. We prayed together prior to surgery. His bedside manners are superior.

Today I am amazed at how my stomach feels to the touch, it is shrinking before my eyes. I got on the scale and another 2lbs gone.
I can't believe I waited so long to do this.
I was due to go back to work tomorrow but after hearing about how many people were sick....I thought it best to take another day

I had my sleeve on Friday 1/30/15 had a tough time in recovery with my BP never been a problem prior to surgery.
Made it to my room at 2:30 walked from my room door to bed and got sick..after some nausea medication I was feeling good.. Dr ordered nothing by mouth until 5am.,I have never wanted Water so bad..
Walked the entire floor at 9pm for a total of 3000 steps.. It really helped with the gas pains.
5am finally .,,I needed to drink 60cc of Water, broth or diluted apple juice every hour..proud to say I exceeded the goal.. No pain or nausea.
I was discharged at 3pm yesterday.., the ride home was bumpy. I camped out downstairs in a recliner.., walked throughout the night..still tackling the 60cc.. Added Protein shake..
Sunday I chilled; while my husband and children went to get their praise on. Showered, cleaned out the refrigerator.. Began praising God for the new lease on life...
I feel great have a plan to make sure I get all fluids and Protein in for the next two weeks. I am measuring out my daily allowance in the medicine cups per hour.
I feel so good I managed to lose 3 lbs from day of surgery. Being on two week pre op protein diet has given me the advantage over my new life style change.
Can't wait to see where I will be in 90 days.,,I am posting my first day after surgery [
