My surgery is June 9th, so excited

@@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!

Yes!! 6 months is closer than we think!! I just started researching WLS last week (last wed to be exaxt) so I feel like all of this is happening so fast so that 6 month rule worked great for me-lol. Best of luck to you too!!

I started doing research in February, I went to the seminar in March and support group in April. You got your consultation appointment very fast! I was sitting by the phone waiting on mine, lol! I am just so ready to start towards a healthier, happier ME!!! 6 months will fly by!

@deesleeved you will love it.. I just got sleeved with bsnc.. I love it.. love my new life.. I'm down 24lbs...

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.

My daughters birthdays are coming up in June and September so I'll be busy planning their parties and doing ALLLLL these doctor visits lol. I'm sure I should be shopping for Christmas bc it's so close, lol!!

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.

@dolly... You will be just fine.. I had my brother drop me off.. I asked for some meds to ease my nerves and it worked.. The staff was nice and comforting .. Before I knew it ..it was out of sugery..

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!!

That's awesome @@suzysuz86 !! How has you recovery/experience been thus far?

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.

Just outside of Charlotte here. Had surgery March 20, 2013. Now 20 weeks pregnant with first baby Good luck to you all. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Who did your surgery?

Who did your surgery?

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'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?
