Anyone had their sleeve done by this man? He seems very straight forward but not sure of his experience.

He's great. No he's not one that tekks jokes and he is very straightforward however he knows what he's doing. He sleeved me on 7/8 and I've been home since 7/9. He's the director of bariatric surgery at cmc mercy/carolinas weight management. Great surgeon but can't take a joke.

He has a very quiet understated manor, but he knows his stuff! He is head of Bariatric surgery at Carolinas HealthCare. Carolinas HealthCare is #1 in bariatric surgery in North Carolina, and is nationally recognized.

You will be in good hands with him and with CHC.

He did mine as well. He has a very dry sense of humor that appears very standoffish. However if you listen to why he got into bariatric surgery to begin with, then you'll understand him a whole lot better. I like the fact that he's very straight forward, but that's what I want. If you ask him a question he gives it to you straight. No BS, no maybes. I chose him over the Dr. that did my ex's RNY, who is also supposedly really good, but I didn't like his office staff.

Just as a follow up to my previous post......Dr. Gersin performed my endocsopy/colonoscopy earlier today. He was very compassionate, but he IS very professional....he doesn't really joke around like some others might. He does have a dry sense of humor. He spoke with my husband for a while when I was in the recover room, and DH has the same opinion of him also.

With that said, I was VERY happy with Dr. Gersin and the entire staff that took care of me today. I know I can trust him to do my sleeve.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
