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.

      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.
