Thank you for your reply! Dr. V has merged into Novant... unfortunately it is a 30 day wait rt now to even get in to see a Novant Bariatric physician. Carolina Weight Mgmt. has a sooner opening but at a price tag of $295 per fill and a one time $100 program fee. Piedmont Medical Bariatrics won't accept another doctor's surgical patient. Crazy! I wish I could find a nurse in Charlotte who gives fills... Praying!!!! Sheila
