HELP - Charlotte NC - Need a PCP!



Recommended Posts

HI everyone,

I am in Charlotte, NC. I need to find a PCP that will take me on as a patient and will do my labs.

Met with my PCP last night and she was not on board.

PLEASE HELP! I know someone out there is in Charlotte NC or near by and has had surgery in Mexico and has a PCP - please don't keep it a secret! :)

Thank you!!!!!

Hey there! I'm in Charlotte. My PCP is Jessica Kaiser at Carmel Family Physicians in Pineville. She is fantastic! She was totally on board with my WLS. She only accepts patients 3 days a week because she is now head of the practice and she is expecting a baby in October, so if you are interested, book now to see her. Their number is (704) 667-3600. They are a part of Carolina's HealthCare System.

My surgeon is at Carolina's Weight Management, which is affiliated with Carolina's HealthCare System also.

Good luck!

HI!

I so took your advice and called the office. Dr. Kaiser isn't taking on any new patients but I was able to get an appointment with Dr. Davis who works in the same office and she told me that she works with WLS patients too! Looks like I may have found someone. I have appointment with her July! I am super happy!!!!! Thank you!

That's awesome! I'm glad you got an appointment there. They are top notch. My husband works for Carolina's Healthcare, and trust me they will take good care of you.

Best of luck on your appointment.

Hi All,

I am looking to start a support group in Cornelius, NC. I own a coffee shop in Cornelius and am looking to host an evening for both those you are about to have surgery and those that have already had it. I had surgery in Mexico and find that I am falling off the wagon so to speak, I just think it will be good to swap idea's and stories. Anyone interested please let me know.

Thanks,

Charlie

Hi Charlie,

I am down! I would LOVE to find a local support group! Would rather not do on work week because traffic is a BEAR. How do the weekends work for the support group?

Thanks,

Jen

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
