Hi charleston friend,

Yes ma'am I had my surgery on October 9th 2012 and as of friday Feb. 22 I am 60lbs down!!! I am 27 and have been over weight all my life. This is the best decision I could ever had made. I only wish that I had done it sooner! My experience is nothing to write home about I was in the hospital from tues to fri and only had one hiccup when they started giving me boost shakes to sip throughout the day. I am lactose intolerant and my tiny tummy just couldn't handle it. I was ready to head back to work after about 10 days but had to take my 4 weeks. Now I wish I could have had more time off!! Haha. But I really can not say enough great things about Dr. Mitchell and his team. They rock! Best of luck and I can answer any questions you may have! This is the start of a beautiful journey!

Thanks for responding!! I'm so excited I know I've made a great choice. Like you can just tell they've got it together, you know? Do you recall what his surgeon's fee was? Rebecca was supposed to email it to me today and didn't. My insurance is 80/20, and I have to pay my part of the fee up front. I really appreciate it!

I am absolutely happy that I met Mitchell. I also work in the OR that he works in but I do not help with his surgeries but I have seen him operate. He is as professional when you are asleep as he is in his office. He is passionate about what he does and is very genuine. I am so happy I decided to have surgery on October 29 2013 and to date have lost 62 pounds and I Feel great!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
