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!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
