Just looking for some support. I'm a Georgia transplant in charleston and haven't found many ppl in sc doing or have had the surgery.

I'm in Sumter. Sleeved July 21st this year in Columbia. I'm scheduled to meet my support group for the first time in September in Columbia. If you want the details to the practice, let me know...it's a bit of a commute for you tho. I guess florence would be about the same distance, even though I'm not aware any groups in the area, maybe another area to check out.

I'm in Summerville/Charleston area. I'm going in for surgery this Tuesday 8/25/15.

I visited all three of the bariatric practices here in the area before deciding on Dr. McDevitt with coastal bariatrics. He is based out of the Summerville medical location and he's absolutely phenomenal

Hey guys sorry for not posting in awhile. Yes, I'm a pt of dr Mcdevitt and he is amazing!!! ???????? I find out on oct 1 if all my labs come back good when my surgery will be. He said he's a little backed up so I'm looking around end of October, beginning of November. I'm getting the VSG. Just pray for me that my labs are good and insurance doesn't give me any problems!
