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 ;-)

      2 weeks & 5 days post op and I'm doing great
      Gatorade w/protein makes me gag now. I think from having so much of it.
      I had the ricotta bake for a few days. I'm in the puree stage but rotisserie chicken, chicken meatballs, cold cuts, & plain tuna don't bother me.
      I had a plain old fashioned peppermint and it made me nauseous...

      Hi there!  Just wanted to gain some perspective.  Out of anyone here who had the gastric bypass, can you give me info on your journey?  How much weight did you lose in the first month, 3 months, 6 months after surgery?  I'm working on getting my clearances so that I can have surgery in late summer.  My friend, who just had GB, told me "your new life doesn't start the day of your surgery, but right now, so take care of yourself!"  So, I'm trying.  But hearing what others have experienced will give me some perspective and I'm big on that kind of thing.

        I lost 25 pounds in 3 months before surgery and your friend is right. Putting off losing weight till surgery date just reminded me of all the excuses I made before. I'll wait till Monday to start or after the holidays.

        I'm 8 weeks out from Gastric Bypass and lost another 25. So I'm averaging about 3 pounds a week post-surgery. That's the most I've ever lost consistently over time without regain so I'm happy. Good luck on your journey!
