What exactly are you referring to as a fill?

I work in Charlotte and live in Clover, SC. Had my RNY 10/15/13. I've lost 105 lbs since 10/1/13, the beginning of my 2 week liquid diet prior to surgery. My surgeon is Dr. Keith Gersin with Carolina's Weight Management in Charlotte, part of the CMC hospital network. I haven't had any medical issues since surgery and I am so happy I did this.

Good luck to you, Tina and Kimberly.

Could I possibly give me his practices name and/or website info?

Hello all!!! I will be sleeved July 14th!!! I am having my surgery done through carolinas weight management and wellness center. I live about 20min south of Charlotte.

As far as meeting places maybe we could meet at Freedom Park. Lots to do there. We could do a "walking group" or something! Just a thought!

Could I possibly give me a review of that practice and I have an appt with a different bariatric clinic called Gaston Med Spa here in, Gastonia, NC. I couldn't find any reviews on, The Carolina's Weight Management & Wellness Center, anywhere on the websites I researched. But, it may have actually class and/or went out of business recently, also, though??? But if you don't mind helping me out in finding the best clinic I can around, Charlotte, NC. and giving me as much of a review as possible and all, possible details as well, please??? Thanks so much, this really means a lot to me, because I've yet to find any weight loss friend, buddies, and/or at least some online supporters. Also, inform me of which surgery I had, why, the recovery after surgery, and the ending results, that'd be more than helpful, thanks again!!!

I was looking for a place to hold it but I've been admitted to the hospital like 3 more times since April with this last time being in July. I'm just getting back into the swing of things. I apologize for dropping the ball.

I pray you are feeling better. I am interested in a local support group. I live in Gastonia, and I will be having my surgery 9/12/14.

I also live in, Gastonia, NC. Although, I'm a Newbie & just getting started with all if it. My husband is having doubts, concerns, and really NOT WANTING ME TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH IT, AT ALL!!! I'm super excited about it though because it's something that I've dreamt about and wanted for over 15 years or more now. I don't have any friends on here nor do I know and understand on how to get friends in these forums and posts. Could please give me all the info, details, and a complete review of your completely entire experience was like which actual surgery did u have and why that kind, how the recovery was following surgery, and basically your current results are with all information and details were/are, pretty please???? I come in height Wise at, 5'7 & my starting weight was 315.2 lbs as of, May 20th, 2016. This is also the biggest n most heaviest I've ever been within my life and I'm only 33 years old. On that day though they did start me on, Phentermine, 37.5mg tablet, once daily, just to begin with.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
