I love my surgeon, but the support group is extremely lacking...

I do understand. I plan to go to the next one at the Cornwell Center. Matthews is quite a haul for me ;) Do call that number that goes with that support group to make sure they are meeting. I went to one at Presby Main without calling first and it had been cancelled ;)

He only does 3 surgeries per day. And only performs them on Mondays. I was approved about a month ago, and my surgery is schedule for Decembe 17th. His nurse Sherri, said that you can always call back every 10 days and see if there are any cancellations

I am in Monroe NC. Seeing Dr. Pirrello will have surgery done at Presbyterian Matthews. Stil waiting on insurance approval.

Hi Kmoore! I am also having surgery through Dr. Pirrello. I am brand new. I won't see surgery until at least 6 months. How has your experience been with Dr. Pirrello so far? My first meeting with him went very well and he made me feel very comfortable about the procedure. I hope you don't mind if I add you as a friend.

I recommend my surgeon, Dr. Roc W. Bauman, he's excellent!!!! He's very serious about my care & his patients!

He's the Doctor of Carolinas Weight Loss Surgery in Concord, NC. He practices as bariatric surgeon @ CMC Northeast.

He is accredited & his practice is considered a "Center of Excellence". Over 2500 surgeries with positive results. He personally offers free info sessions at his office...it's on the website when they're having a session. I think it's worth the time & they're very informative!!! Worth taking a listen to, especially if your in search of a surgeon or information!!! There's no obligation, it's just to educate YOU!

WEBSITE: www.carolinasweightlosssurgery.com

Hopeful this is helpful to those in NC area. I honestly wouldn't have considered a doctor without a rating like his.

***BE SAFE & REMEMBER TO DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!

CWLS Office # 704-403-7580

His staff are awesome too!

TAKE CARE ;-)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
