BetterNai88 54 Posted June 17, 2014 I'm in charlotte too. Had my surgery with southeast bariatrics. I used dr volleinger. So far, so good. I am only one week post op. Maybe they can follow you I'm using SE Bariatrics too but Dr. Kolasch is my Dr. I still have a June and July follow up before it goes to insurance so I'm hoping for a early fall date. About how long is your recovery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jennifer0609 83 Posted June 17, 2014 I had surgery on the 9th of June. The first 3-4 days were uncomfortable, but manageable. I had a hernia repair also. Getting fluids in was difficult, but no problems now- except my little tummy doesn't like certain Protein powders. Premier chocolate is my current fav. I drink 3 per day, 30grams of protein in each, 11oz each. I use flavored drops in my Water. I have one incision that has been a little sore. Good luck as you wade through the pre op stuff. My first appointment was in February and I got sleeved in June Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm right outside of Raleigh, had surgery with Duke metabolic weight loss center (durham) Monday 12/01/14. I started all my pre-op stuff at Bariatric Specialists of NC in Cary, NC But had to switch to duke due to insurance requirement. Loving my sleeve and progress so far. I started in May, I had a 6 month program for insurance so March will come quick! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
