Beginning the Journey

[Guest guest]

Yesterday, I visited my gynecologist for an annual check-up and was

told I was too obese to be examined manually and would have to have

an ultrasound procedure to accomplish the checkup. Needless to say,

with a BMI of 47 and a decision to end my misery - I am here to

explore a surgical option. I have recently moved to North Carolina

and do not have a primary care physician with BCBSNC. I live near

Chapel Hill and would like to find someone that works well with Dr.

Rutledge and knows about after-care requirements,etc. I would also

like to hear from post-operative patients. I can't tell you how

scared and excited I am about the possibility of having MGB surgery.

I've never posted anywhere, so I hope I am doing this right...thanks

for your help.
