I'm in Concord too, haven't had it yet, but will be making my appt with the surgeon next week. I have already done 7 months of medical diet plan so anxious to find out what else I will need to do to have it. I'm hoping to get in soon with dr Bauman

I am in Albemarle (Stanly County). I have surgery in Concord with Dr. Bauman on August 29th, 2013.

Did you like Dr Bauman? Any advise for a newbie. I have gone to one of his seminars already.

Live in Rock Hill, work in CLT. I was sleeved 12/31 at CMC MERCY by Dr Vilanuejva with Carolinas Weight Mgmt.

I also live in Rock Hill and work in Charlotte. Had mine done 10-15-12 by Dr. Vollenger with Southeast Bariatrics. Lost from 239lbs to 177lbs the first year, had some "life issues" and am at 192lbs today. I am back on target with eating and exercise again and have lost 7lbs since Christmas :)

The sleeve is like any tool, it does not work if not used properly. I am happy to be using it correctly again and am determined to meet my goal weight by this time next year :)

Thats great that youve gotten back on the right track!! But Im curious what you were doing to gain weight? Just eating the wrong kind of food? I hear you can stretch the sleeve which is what worries me. This surgery was like my last option after all the diets ive tried so Im really worried I will lose the weight now but gain it back later :/ i feel I have so much still to learn about my sleeve!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
