I am from Cheraw, SC. It's in the upper right hand part of the state, about 20 miles from Rockingham, NC. Congrats on your surgery date and I hope things go well for you! I am sure it will! I am 5 weeks out, down 40 lbs, 20 before 20 since surgery. I've had no complications and asnlong as I listen to my body and eat slowly, everything goes down well. It has been easier than I thought except for my second week of the liquid diet. It was hard for me because I felt like I was supposed to eat something. Once I accepted the liquids only I have felt so much better! You will not regret it!

I live in the Greer area and I'm having my surgery in November, but I haven't gotten the exact date yet. Dr. Johnson is my surgeon.

It is great to find a few people so close. How was your recovery?

Recovery was good. It just took some getting used to as far as eating slow and chewing food up. I have lost 65lbs so far. I wish I was a faster loser but I will take it.

Im in Upstate SC as well and just starting to think about getting the sleeve. I have no idea of the cost here though, if insurance isn't paying for your surgeries I would love to hear how much you are paying in our area?

Before I decided to go to Mexico. I went to bariatric solutions in greenville. The cash price was $12,500 for the sleeve. You have to go to the classes before surgery and buy there preop shakes and stuff. Classes are included in the price I think. I paid $4700 plus airfare to Mexico but that might be an option for you. I was a little freaked out at the thought at first but honestly think I got better care there than I would have here. I wish insurance would get on board more with weightloss surgeries.

thanks so much, I would be going to Spartanburg Regional but I'm sure the cost is very similar.

      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.
