Hello everyone! Good Evening. I was just wondering if you have to use his Psych/Nutritional professional for their evals or can you use your own personal one. I live in Raleigh and want to limit my travels back and forth to Charlotte if I decided to choose Dr. Bauman. Also what does he require for pre-op that would be a problem with long commute? Anyone had Lap band from this area with Dr. Bauman?

Hi Takisha, I live in Wilmington and I am 9 weeks post op with Dr B as a proud owner of my loved Band! I do my nut eval and appts at Dr Bauman's office, simply because I was not impressed with the services I found locally. In Raleigh, you should have no worries getting good nut. eval and monthly follow-up. I did continue to see my local psychologist and this was no problem with Dr B's office. He is concerned that you get top quality care- good pysch eval to assess your readiness to make the commitment to lifetime changes ( and to hopefully weed out any possible eating disorders) and that the nut. follow up is pertinent for a WLS patient and provides good, sound medical advice. Personally, I would see you doing only your Dr visits with Dr B and being able to establish all other follow up locally in the Triangle area. I promise you- I am doing the 4 hr drive monthly and he is worth the drive! Good luck and please keep me posted! Take care, Sheila
