artymama 170 Posted July 7, 2013 Maybe you guys can give me some advice! I will be traveling to the Outer Banks with my family when I am 6 weeks PO. My Dr office says its ok, but I should know where a bariatric hospital is in relation to my vacation in case of any issues. Do you know of a hospital in proximity to Kitty Hawk that performs bariatric surgery? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm an RN in the area and I have to say that Dr Pirrello and his PA are some of the most caring I've seen. I've had no complications and they took the time to answer all my questions. Their office staff is great too, returning phone calls, paperwork etc. I started with another surgeon and switched to Dr Pirrello. So glad I did. 1 nj8988 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had the 2nd visit (w/ Dr. Pirello), and after speaking with him, I felt so incredibly comfortable with the idea of the surgery. He has confidence in what he is doing, and as a guy, is able to relate with some of the challenges with food. Also gave me realistic expectations when dealing with the approval of the insurance company (Cigna). You can tell he isn't someone who does the job for the paycheck.

He loves what he does and expects nothing but the best care for his patients. You will love Justin too. He trains with the surgeon that originated the sleeve. If you have any questions ill be happy to try and answer if you want to PM me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
