I have worked out for years and just lose 5 lbs here and there. I have a BMI of 40 and have high blood pressure. I do have Cigna PPP Insurance.

I just don't know the first step . . .

Wendy, I was sleeved at Lake norman Regional Medical Center at the end of May. Dr, Heider, the surgeon, is very impressive. If you call LKN Regional, they will inform you when the next meeting is and they can help you in the right direction. Good luck!

Hi I leave in Charlotte and I will be having surgery on 7/15, my surgeon is Dr. Paul Enoch in cary,NC I started this process in 2008 and my insurance would not cover and now it does. My advice to you is start with a seminar either in person or online but find a great b surgeon the reason I'm going back to Cary/Raleigh for my surgeon this is who I started out with and I'm very comfortable with Dr. Paul Enochs. This has to be something you want to do for you and your health and a better way of life, longevity, and the benefits I can hardly wait, I've actually be living as if I have already been sleeved. A friend of mine who lives in Charlotte nc went to Bariatric Surgery Charlotte 704-377-3900 and said they were excellent. Good luck to you

Agreed! Love the whole practice- you can do his seminar online too if you wanna check him out first. He operates at lake Norman reg medical or at CMC Northeast in concord.

I saw a few other drs in the area and would recommend him without a second thought!

I would also suggest contacting Cigna to see what is covered, what is required & what doctor is in-network for you. That way you will have an idea when you attend the seminars about the whole insurance coverage & testing process. I will be getting sleeved Aug 14th at UNC-CH with Dr. Overby.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
