@@DeeSleeved427, I have my consult on Monday, and I believe that my insurance also requires a 6 month weigh in and supervised diet. I live about 1.5 hours south of Raleigh. Our surgeries will probably be around the same time. Six months seems so close but still some how far away... wishing you the best of luck!

6 months is not bad at all I started by supervised visits in February I have #4 of 6 on the 28th of this month and I'm honestly surprised with how fast this has all gone. I've been more focused on my changes than the 6 months. Good luck everybody.

  1. I'm at Fort Bragg, NC, getting sleeved this Tuesday May 20. Feeling ready but I'm sure when I get there I will be nervous. I don't have anybody to go to the hospital with me for surgery. Will have a friend drop me off. Hoping to keep my nerves in check.

Hello everyone! I'm in the Raleigh area and just had my consult yesterday at Bariatric Surgeons of NC (in Cary). Looks like I have a 6 month weight check/supervision required by insurance so my last check will be oct 21st. I imagine surgery sometime in November.

I was expecting a 3 months supervised diet but turned out to be 6, not too bad though bc I'm still trying to get my hubby on board ?de01

I had my sleeve done almost 2 months ago by Dr. Bruce at Bariatric Specialist s of Nn..He was great!!

Everything has been great so far! My recovery was much easier than I expected. As soon as I left the hospital I was feeling good and I had no pain.

Dr. Pirello (sp?) at Novant Matthews. Unfortunately he's not a surgeon any more as he was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon. Awesome, right? :) lol So I haven't followed up with anyone since about 9 months out because I really didn't care for his PA and that's the only one I met with after surgery.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
