Maybe you guys can give me some advice! I will be traveling to the Outer Banks with my family when I am 6 weeks PO. My Dr office says its ok, but I should know where a bariatric hospital is in relation to my vacation in case of any issues. Do you know of a hospital in proximity to Kitty Hawk that performs bariatric surgery? Thanks!

They're practice is awesome. I'm an RN in the area and I have to say that Dr Pirrello and his PA are some of the most caring I've seen. I've had no complications and they took the time to answer all my questions. Their office staff is great too, returning phone calls, paperwork etc. I started with another surgeon and switched to Dr Pirrello. So glad I did.

I had the 2nd visit (w/ Dr. Pirello), and after speaking with him, I felt so incredibly comfortable with the idea of the surgery. He has confidence in what he is doing, and as a guy, is able to relate with some of the challenges with food. Also gave me realistic expectations when dealing with the approval of the insurance company (Cigna). You can tell he isn't someone who does the job for the paycheck.

You're absolutely right. He loves what he does and expects nothing but the best care for his patients. You will love Justin too. He trains with the surgeon that originated the sleeve. If you have any questions ill be happy to try and answer if you want to PM me.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
