Hey~ I'm new to this site and just had my 2/3 visit today. I am hoping to be having surgery in June. Anyone from NC on here?

Winston Salem with Dr. Fuzz

O cool I've heard of him.

Awesome!!! Glad to hear so many of us North Carolinians are getting healthy!!! My surgery was July 3. Highest weight was 307 in January, 250 day of surgery and 215 today. I was a size 24 in January and a loose 18 now. My only strugles are chicken of any kind and constipation. I use miralax and colace to stay regular. Feeling fantastic!!!!!!

Oh and I went with Dr. Sharpe and Dr. NG at Rex. They are awesome!!!! Ni complications at all.

Same here sometimes I can be constipated more so post op then before. Dr. Wilson did my surgery at Wesley Long and I have had no problems so far not even with food.

It is awesome to see so many tarheels doing great! I haven't figured out how to change my ticker lol - but....surgery on April 12, 2013 - highest weight was 308 surgery weight 294 and 234 at my last weigh in so 74 pounds lost to date

Thanks! Ive been on a diet since mid April and have lost 50 pounds. I've been kinda slack lately. I start my 2 week pre op diet on Monday. I'm lucky, it's not a liquid diet. I have 2 shakes and 3 oz lean meat with veggies for supper.

Yes I was one of the lucky ones as well because I was on the same kind as you. Thats great that you've lost 50lbs so far! And good luck with your diet on Monday, I definitely had the last supper syndrome up until my diet started.
