Hi I'm in Ashoboro (NC Zoo) area. I got my Sleve on 6/23/15 By Dr. Fernandez (Dr. Fuzz) at Wake Forest Baptist. Hope everyone is feeling good today!

How does their financing work? Looking at them as well....in beginning phases and have completed a consult with another practice but heard good things about Baptist's program since I am in Salisbury.

I went there and spoke with the receptionist and she told me that they did not take the BCBSNC for state employees and teachers.

I came from Columbia, South Carolina to Lake Norman and the Centers for Weight Loss with Dr. Heider. I've met with him and his staff and they are wonderful. I am self-pay so my surgery was scheduled a little over 2 weeks after my first appointment. I am winding down the pre-op Liquid Protein diet and am anxious for Thursday to come.

Raleigh, NC here . . . I've received all of my healthcare from Duke. I started this health debacle with cancer back in 2011. I had a reoccurance in 2012. I developed all types of health issues that stemmed from the cancer. HBP, diabetes, depression, anxiety, menopause, etc. etc.

I thought I was ready 2 weeks ago . . . and now I'm finding out that my PCP didn't complete my paperwork properly . . .so now I may have to do another 4 consecutive visits.

I've livid.

      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.
