I'm in Sumter. Sleeved July 21st this year in Columbia. I'm scheduled to meet my support group for the first time in September in Columbia. If you want the details to the practice, let me know...it's a bit of a commute for you tho. I guess florence would be about the same distance, even though I'm not aware any groups in the area, maybe another area to check out.

I'm in Summerville/Charleston area. I'm going in for surgery this Tuesday 8/25/15.

I visited all three of the bariatric practices here in the area before deciding on Dr. McDevitt with coastal bariatrics. He is based out of the Summerville medical location and he's absolutely phenomenal

Hey guys sorry for not posting in awhile. Yes, I'm a pt of dr Mcdevitt and he is amazing!!! ???????? I find out on oct 1 if all my labs come back good when my surgery will be. He said he's a little backed up so I'm looking around end of October, beginning of November. I'm getting the VSG. Just pray for me that my labs are good and insurance doesn't give me any problems!

      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.
