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!

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
