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.

Sorry for the slow response. My posts get lost on here sometimes. I really like Dr Bauman. Some people say that he isn't great with bedside manner I find his attitude very comical. I teach high school so I am used to sarcasm. :) He is very much a perfectionist and the nurses at the hospital said he was very strict about his patient's care. I like that. Everyone I have talked to who have had surgery there have had good results. I am very pleased.

I don't know Dr Bauman, but Dr. Vilanuejva is in Concord and Balantyne. He was phenomenal! Great bedside manner, easy to talk with, clear on his directions and the kind of person who ask about my family. I have had a great recovery with minimal pain.

I don't work for him but as a healthcare professional he is the kind of doctor I love! This was a scary step to take and having the right doctor was key for me!

Thank you, I ended up going with dr Gersin in Charlotte, Had completed my 6 months of diet dr before even seeing the surgeon. Had my psych eval last Friday so, now just waiting for those results to come in and they can submit to the insurance. Of course there are a few other appt's the surgeon requires but they are all scheduled. Can't wait, It is still very possible for me to have a late February date.

Gersin did mine also. He is a great surgeon. If you want them to rush it they can. Did all my apts and had my date within a month and half.

Hey Britt. Sorry it's been a couple of days. Had a death in the family which got me VERY down. Wasn't exercising at all and was eating more "comfort" foods. I wasn't overeating, just not exercising and eating the wrong foods. I've since snapped out of it and exercise 7 days a week for at least 90 minutes a day. Is making a BIG difference in my mood and weight :)

Good for you. Frye was highly recommend and was one of my top choices. How have you done with your sleeve?

I've done pretty well, though I haven't lost as much as the typical sleever. But I was a rather low BMI to start with (37). That along with many many other factors determine weight loss. I'm very happy with being sleeved!

      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.
