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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
