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.

[kbg29520 18]

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!

I live in the Greer area and I'm having my surgery in November, but I haven't gotten the exact date yet. Dr. Johnson is my surgeon.

It is great to find a few people so close. How was your recovery?

[cindysc 108]

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.

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?

[cindysc 108]

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.

thanks so much, I would be going to Spartanburg Regional but I'm sure the cost is very similar.
