NC Anyone

[teachkdz0507 7]

Hello All-

Any NC patients have surgery with Dr. Ellen Carraro with Novant Bariatric in CLT? I am trying to get in to see her for a surgical opinion about my 2011 VSG. I have horrible GERD and major malabsorption issues even though the sleeve isn't supposed to come with that. I am thinking a RNY revision may be necessary to get rid of the GERD.

Looking for both the positives and negatives about your experience with Dr. Carraro. Everything I have read has been super positive so I hope she can help me.

Thanks in advance!

My surgery has been rescheduled for July 1st. Creatine levels bad and they want them better.

While my date for this second try at surgery put me on July 1st, I’m still going to keep in touch with my June buddies. Creatine came down significantly. Cleared this time for sure.

And may it go smooth, sleek and successful this time! And keep a little eye on your kidneys, they're supposed to last a lifetime!

Diabetes is what is “killing” my kidneys. But surgery and weight loss will improve my diabetes and hopefully take the burden of processing the sugars in my blood.
