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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
