Testimonials

After trying several diets over the years and failing, along with the onset of Type II diabetes, I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Bauman for a consult.  I have had no complications since my surgery and know beyond a doubt that I made the right decision!  I only wish I had done it sooner.  I have so much more energy now and since the day I left the hospital and I no longer take medication for the diabetes.  Thanks, Dr Bauman!

I have been obese since childhood. I was always "big.". I played football in high school and weighed 275 pounds. When I decided to have the surgery I weighed over 375 pounds. i wsa 50 yeas old and feeling like I was 70. I had no energy and i was taking medication for high blood pressure, diabetes, and gout. Since my surgery everything has changed. WOW! I have lost 120 pounds. I am off all of my previous medications, i walk 2 to 3 miles a day an dam loving life. I cannot tell you how good I feel. I only wish I had done this years ago. If you follow the plan laid out for you, you can be successful with your weight loss goals. Thank you to everyone at Carolina Weight Loss Surgery!

I was a person in denial for the longest time, until one morning when I could not hardly walk to the bathroom because of knee pain. That is when I looked into this surgery and began the journey. I have never felt beter. The pain in my joints are gone. I have nnot had to take the blood pressure medicine since the day after surgery. I would recommend this surgery to anyone who is ready to make the lifetime change. This is not a "quick fix", but a "life changing experience." My life has not been this abundant in years. I am much happier.. always smiling and as friends and family say.. I am a changed person. I have lost 110 lbs and dropped from a size 22W to a 4 Petite. Just remember to take care of ourself first. You can do this as well. If you are reading this I hope that you choose to follow your heart and stay focused.

Before my surgery, I hated to see myself in famliy pictures, vacation videos and dressing room mirrors. I now have confidence and a higher self esteem. I tried for years to lose weight by joining programs, food diets, exercise videos an gyms without much success. Fed up and ready for a change, I looked into gastric by-pass surgery. After a year of discussing with my family, researching and finding the right physician I decided to go ahead. It was the best decision I ever made! I am now healthy and happier as a Mom, Wife, and as an individual. Shoppinf for new clothes is now fun. I also no longer fear the video camera or dressing room mirrors. I LOVE THE NEW ME!!!

This has been a TERRIFIC YEAR! I had the Lap Band surgery a year ago and hav not regreted the decision for one secord. The lap band is definitely the tool that I needed to reach my goal. I feel better that I have in years and can keep up with my teenage kids. Exercise is no longer a chore, it is a way of life. I wish I would have made this decision years earlier but Thrilled that I did last year.

Having gastric by-pass was the best thing I have done. Dr. Bauman and his staff have been wonderful and caring the entire way. They do a very good job educating their patients along the journey of weight loss. I always knew what to expect and kenw that even when the office was closed they were only a phone call away! Thank you Dr. Bauman for helping me get my life back with this wonderful tool. Looking back over the last year and the difference I feel, I would do it again in a heartbeat!!!
