A great new Bypass Dr. Dr Pirrello!

Hey everybody! I just wanted to let people know about a great new Bypass Dr in Concord. His name is Dr Pirrello. He is in with Dr Bauman at Carolina Weight Loss Surgery. I've had experience with him here lately with some problems I've been having and he is great. Very thorough, just like Dr Bauman. He is great. He doesn't have a full load yet because he is getting his name out there, so he's fairly easy to get in to see. For those of you that know Dr Bauman you know that Dr Pirrello has to be great for Dr Bauman to add him at the Practice. For all you pre-ops out there, he would be a great Dr to go and see. Thanks! Carly

I am happy to hear that you used Dr. Bauman's office. I am too!!!! I have my surgery on 12/04/2006 and its with Dr. Bauman. How was your hospital stay? I pray all went well. My sister is using the same office maybe she will use Dr. Pirrello. Thanks so much for the info it was great hopefully not only to me, but also to all those interested in our area. What I love about this site is that it is not related to Dr. Bauman's office and you nothing but good things about him and his staff. Take care have a blessed day Carolyn

Hi Carolyn! Congrats on your upcoming surgery! My husband just had WLS with Dr. Bauman also on 11/7. He is doing fantastic. In fact he is doing better than I did when I had my surgery. The whole staff at Carolina Weight Loss Surgery are great. I wish Dr. Pirrello or Dr. Bauman could be my PCP. That's how much I trust them and value their opinions. I am having a hard time finding an adequate PCP. I had my Bypass surgery on 1/10 this year and have lost 124 lbs thus far. My BMI is now normal and I am wanting to lose about 15 more lbs to reach my personal goal. Dr. Bauman really didn't give me a weight goal but I think Diane's goal for me is 147 and I am now 150. I had my gallbladder removed and a internal hernia repaired. My hospital stay was okay although a bit long for my taste but I am doing well. Good luck with your upcoming surgery and if you need anything or have any questions please feel free to email me. I'll be glad to help anyway I can. Have a great day! Carly 274/150/135

Hey carolyn my surgery is on the 7th maybe well cross paths on your way out and my way in!

Have a super surgery. Where are you having yours done? Where ever it may be I just pray all gose well for you from beginning to end. Take care Carolyn

Good evening. I am really just learning how to get around this site so I am sorry that I replied so late. First let me say thanks to much for the kind words. I am excited not so nervous, but the after part. So little water, never mind the food so much, that is why I am here in the first place, but the little water for me a alot. The mushy food I am okay with that because they say the you can have sugar free Jello or sugar free ice pops. What did you use? Any suggestions? I have my pre-op appointment with Dr. Bauman 11/20/2006 and then two weeks later I go to Diane. My sister is going to have hers after she completes her six month diets visits with our doctor. I again am so glad that I came across you. Wait you said that you had your gallbladder removed? Why? How long did you have to stay? An internal hernia? Dr. Bauman can't find this out before you go in so you won't have any surprises after your surgery? Last question, I think, how long was did you hve to do the liquids before the procedure? Now as far as a PCP, I have a great one. I don't know where you live, but she is located right off of Mallard Creek, her name is Dr. Kerlin. She is soooo excellent. I mean right down to her not her assistant calling back if you leave her a message with a question. Little things mean a lot and she pays attention to them. I love her and would not change her for nothing in the world. I can't locate her number right now but as soon as I can I will give it to you just in case you want to use it. Thanks again for all the information, you just don't know how much I appreciate it. Peace and blessisngs Carolyn
