I'm in Charlotte, did not use him though. I used Craig Kolasch of Southeast Bariatrics. Any recommendations for a great nutritionist?

How far out pre-op are you? I ended up going with another Dr. From the one I listed. I couldn't get my schedule to mesh with his to even get an initial appointment... I went with Dr. Keith Gersin at Carolinas Weight Management.

I'm still pre-op so don't know of any nutritionists yet. I'll be using there on staff person and see how it goes. Hopefully I click with the person and make lasting changes.. Good luck finding someone.. Keep me posted please ????

I had my surgery with Dr Gersin at cwmc. My old roomie had her surgery with Kuwada, and has lost 138lbs in a year. She had RNY as did I. May 5th was my surgery and I'm down 60lbs from April 22nd pre-op to now June 18th ???? good luck on your journey....

My pleasure... The thread May Peeps that I started, we post all the time encouraging ideas, and support one another so much. So if you feel like checking out that thread, you won't regret it. And how cool that we both go to same weight loss clinic. And of course this whole website is supportive, I just meant we really have all bonded, as much as you can over the web lol...

I went to a seminar earlier this month. I have 1st appointment with Dr. Kawada August 6th!! I'm going with Dr Kawada vs Dr Gersin because Kawada did my seminar and I was really impressed by him!!! I hope to have surgery in November 2015. It's really good to find people that are going to the same doctors!! YAY!!!

I bet you are so excited!!!!! August is right around the corner... Good luck on your journey, and start practicing chewing your food 20-30 times a bite and I use the app Eat Slower, to help me establish a slower eating habit. It's way harder than you think. Especially for me, I inhaled my food before surgery.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
