Hey Ya'll!!!!!!!!!!!!

I live in Shelby, work in Gastonia , hope to have surgery in Charlotte. I went to a seminar earlier this month. I have 1st appointment with Dr. Kuwada (Carolina Weight Mangement in Charlotte)August 6th!! I'm going with Dr Kuwada vs Dr Gersin because Kuwada did my seminar and I was really impressed by him!!! I hope to have surgery in November 2015 after my insurance year has restarted in October. Besides, I need the extra time to change some bad habits (not exercising, not drinking Water, drinking a 2 liter of Pepsi a day and smoking) before I have surgery! It's really good to find people that are in NC!! Karen

Hi I did a Medical Weight Management plan for 6 months to help change my habits & lost 45 pounds without breaking a sweat or starving. I had to eat 1200 calories per day, Log everything I ate & meet Protein & carbohydrate goals everyday. It helped so much. Good luck!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
