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 ;-)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
