New to NC- doctor search



Recommended Posts

Been in NC since fall and am thinking I need an adjustment. I'm on maintenance but am still losing weight and can't eat enough to keep up my weight.

Anyone have any recommendations?

There is a fill center up towards Asheville. I'm in the Piedmont Triad area. Surely there has to be a provider in the Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point area.

Thanks!

I am aware of several doctors in the Charlotte area, but am unfamiliar with those in the Triad area. Good luck!

I use Roc Bauman in Concord, nc. Or there is Dr. Vollinger in Charlotte. Good Luck.

Sorry this is a new term for me. I haven't had surgery yet but am scheduled for April 14th. Is Fill Center different than a surgeon who performs the surgery. Do certain Dr's only "fill" their patients? If not Dr "Fuzz" Fernandez is my surgeon at Wake Forrest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem. He and his staff are wonderful.

Hope this helps.....

Fill centers specializes in caring for patients who are already banded...but yes, many of the providers in the network are surgeons who perform banding on patients.

Those who move around alot or just want to switch doctors for whatever reason find fill centers to be a great option.

But there may be some in the network who are not surgeons...that all they provide are adjustments and aftercare.

thank you. Wake forest! Plenty of docs? Right?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
