I'm in charlotte too. Had my surgery with southeast bariatrics. I used dr volleinger. So far, so good. I am only one week post op. Maybe they can follow you

I'm using SE Bariatrics too but Dr. Kolasch is my Dr. I still have a June and July follow up before it goes to insurance so I'm hoping for a early fall date. About how long is your recovery?

I had surgery on the 9th of June. The first 3-4 days were uncomfortable, but manageable. I had a hernia repair also. Getting fluids in was difficult, but no problems now- except my little tummy doesn't like certain Protein powders. Premier chocolate is my current fav. I drink 3 per day, 30grams of protein in each, 11oz each. I use flavored drops in my Water. I have one incision that has been a little sore. Good luck as you wade through the pre op stuff. My first appointment was in February and I got sleeved in June :)

I had the sleeve Dec. 3, 2014 at Wake Forrest with Dr. McNatt. The folks at Wake Forrest Weight Management have been great. Blessed to live near great medicine.

I had my sleeve last June with Dr V. I have had no problems. He is very down to earth and will answer any questions. I wish I had done this years ago. 55 pounds lighter and another 20 to go. Good luck to you on your journey

Hi largeininc! I'm right outside of Raleigh, had surgery with Duke metabolic weight loss center (durham) Monday 12/01/14. I started all my pre-op stuff at Bariatric Specialists of NC in Cary, NC But had to switch to duke due to insurance requirement. Loving my sleeve and progress so far. I started in May, I had a 6 month program for insurance so March will come quick!

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
