BamaGirly37 45 Posted September 13, 2013 I literally just posted a topic to see if anyone was close to the upstate area. I'm having my surgery November 7th just got the date today! I'd love to see where everyone is from. I live in Travelers Rest basically Greenville. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kbg29520 18 Posted September 13, 2013 I am from Cheraw, SC. It's in the upper right hand part of the state, about 20 miles from Rockingham, NC. Congrats on your surgery date and I hope things go well for you! I am sure it will! I am 5 weeks out, down 40 lbs, 20 before 20 since surgery. I've had no complications and asnlong as I listen to my body and eat slowly, everything goes down well. It has been easier than I thought except for my second week of the liquid diet. It was hard for me because I felt like I was supposed to eat something. Once I accepted the liquids only I have felt so much better! You will not regret it!

cindysc 108 Posted September 13, 2013 Recovery was good. It just took some getting used to as far as eating slow and chewing food up. I have lost 65lbs so far. I wish I was a faster loser but I will take it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JessPearl 9 Posted September 16, 2013 Im in Upstate SC as well and just starting to think about getting the sleeve. I have no idea of the cost here though, if insurance isn't paying for your surgeries I would love to hear how much you are paying in our area? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cindysc 108 Posted September 16, 2013 Before I decided to go to Mexico. I went to bariatric solutions in greenville. The cash price was $12,500 for the sleeve. You have to go to the classes before surgery and buy there preop shakes and stuff. Classes are included in the price I think. I paid $4700 plus airfare to Mexico but that might be an option for you. I was a little freaked out at the thought at first but honestly think I got better care there than I would have here. I wish insurance would get on board more with weightloss surgeries. 2 greersc and kbg29520 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JessPearl 9 Posted September 16, 2013 thanks so much, I would be going to Spartanburg Regional but I'm sure the cost is very similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
