Anyone had their sleeve done by this man? He seems very straight forward but not sure of his experience.

He's great. No he's not one that tekks jokes and he is very straightforward however he knows what he's doing. He sleeved me on 7/8 and I've been home since 7/9. He's the director of bariatric surgery at cmc mercy/carolinas weight management. Great surgeon but can't take a joke.

He has a very quiet understated manor, but he knows his stuff! He is head of Bariatric surgery at Carolinas HealthCare. Carolinas HealthCare is #1 in bariatric surgery in North Carolina, and is nationally recognized.

You will be in good hands with him and with CHC.

He did mine as well. He has a very dry sense of humor that appears very standoffish. However if you listen to why he got into bariatric surgery to begin with, then you'll understand him a whole lot better. I like the fact that he's very straight forward, but that's what I want. If you ask him a question he gives it to you straight. No BS, no maybes. I chose him over the Dr. that did my ex's RNY, who is also supposedly really good, but I didn't like his office staff.

Just as a follow up to my previous post......Dr. Gersin performed my endocsopy/colonoscopy earlier today. He was very compassionate, but he IS very professional....he doesn't really joke around like some others might. He does have a dry sense of humor. He spoke with my husband for a while when I was in the recover room, and DH has the same opinion of him also.

With that said, I was VERY happy with Dr. Gersin and the entire staff that took care of me today. I know I can trust him to do my sleeve.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
