reetthebeat 2 Posted July 10, 2015 Hey Ya'll!!!!!!!!!!!! I live in Shelby, work in Gastonia , hope to have surgery in Charlotte. I went to a seminar earlier this month. I have 1st appointment with Dr. Kuwada (Carolina Weight Mangement in Charlotte)August 6th!! I'm going with Dr Kuwada vs Dr Gersin because Kuwada did my seminar and I was really impressed by him!!! I hope to have surgery in November 2015 after my insurance year has restarted in October. Besides, I need the extra time to change some bad habits (not exercising, not drinking Water, drinking a 2 liter of Pepsi a day and smoking) before I have surgery! It's really good to find people that are in NC!! Karen Hi I did a Medical Weight Management plan for 6 months to help change my habits & lost 45 pounds without breaking a sweat or starving. I had to eat 1200 calories per day, Log everything I ate & meet Protein & carbohydrate goals everyday. It helped so much. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
