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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
