  18. I had surgery January 27th so I am 7 weeks post op. how's everything been going after surgery?
  19. Awesome!! I went to Sun Valley High ????Very cool! Did you have your surgery done in this area?I'm still pre-op I'm going through Carolinas weight management. I'm still getting all of my testing done. Everything should be done appointment wise at end of this month.. How about you?I'm still pre-op too going through Southeast Bariatrics with Dr. Kolasch at the Presbyterian / Novant Matthews hospital. My insurance requires the 6 month diet so I'm about to enter month 2.I was going to go to Dr. Vollenger but was able to get into Carolina sooner.. My good friend is waiting for his approval for Dr V right now.. I didn't have to do 6 month diet. It's good for fast approval, but crazy without any beforehand knowledge to prep myself.. Obviously I'm researching for myself lol ???? good luck on your journey..
