I got through to Doctor Pirello (Carolina Weight Loss Surgery) and got an appt Tuesday! Yay! He has MUCH more experience with VSG than my current surgeon. I'm excited. Any of you that have gone through them - how long did it take you for all the appts?

Lexi, I have Dr. Bauman and I love him, along with their whole practice.  I think you made a wonderful choice.  They are very caring, compassionate, discrete, (sp) professional, prompt, etc.  Need I say more?  All the appts. really have to do you with and the testing you do on your own.  Some people gets everything done quick and others take their time- however you schedule permits.  Once you submit everything to them, they fax it right off (at least for me and several others) and then it's a waiting game for you insurance.  After that, they move you along pretty quickly and before you know it, your day to be a looser will be here!  Good luck!

I'm excited, things are already moving faster. i will have my consult, nut and psych done by next thursday - I have had all the blood tests I just have to get the records fromt he other surgeon. I will have the H Pylori in the office, so the only loose end is the upper GI. thanks for the feedback :)

I agree that the office staff is really great and works hard to help you. Also from what i hear NEMC has a suite of rooms for wls patients with staff that specializes in caring for those patients.

A suite?? Any with hot tubs? LOL What's an upper GI like? DId you get it ordered through your PCP? I haven't ever done one.
