Hey guys! I had my surgery on may 4th with dr. Pirrello and I'm down 78 lbs! If you are having surgery with him you will LOVE him! Good luck everyone!

When and where is the support group? I my go.

I'm 21 and I am 3 months post op!

I got sleeved in charlotte 3 months ago by dr. Jon Pirrello! No regrets at all! Good luck and congrats y'all!

It's difficult for me to see, or at least admit there is a difference. I'm about 3 months out and 53 lbs down and all of my clothes are too big and everyone else notices my weightloss and in pictures I can tell. I would say that at about 35 lbs down ppl really started to notice.

Hey Joe! All is going really well! I hit my 50 lb loss this morning and I am very excited! I think I'm adjusting pretty well to the sleeved life how are things coming along with you? Any closer to having the surgery? Jess

I was sleeved on may 4th and I'm down 21 lbs!

Hey Joe! I'm doing very well this week! I started soft foods on Friday and everything is going down well. Im excited for you about your appointment you will love dr. Pirrello and his staff! Let me know how it goes! Jess

A Couple of years ago I bought this really cute bathing suit off season so it was pretty cheap but it was too tight. But since it was so cheap I had to buy it haha. Anyway, I'm going out of town to a friends house and she has a pool so just for giggles I tried the bathing suit on and it fit perfectly! It was even a little loose! Very exciting

Surgery went very well! I'm in the hospital going home today or tomorrow the pain is not that bad it just feels like I got a pretty good abdominal workout. Overall this was a textbook surgery no complications whatsoever!

I'm sitting in the pre op section of the hospital hooked up to the iv and waiting for my time! Excited and nervous!! having some pre op jitters but I know I'm doing this for the right reasons! I can't believe this is real!

My surgery is tomorrow! I'm very excited but also very nervous! Any advice on calming my nerves or last minute advice before I go under the knife?

I have bcbs NC and I only had to have a bmi of 40 or 30 with one comorbidity, psych eval, and nutritionist visit some blood work and my doctor ordered an upper gi. I was aprroved in 2 days and they cover it 100%!

May 4th!

IM having my last pre surgical consultation with my surgeon thursday ( my surgery is may 4th) at any rate what are some good questions I should ask him prior to surgery?
