Raleigh, Nc Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Yep I worked at Duke for 10 years. Living near campus is expensive, but lots to do and I believe at your age you would enjoy all there is to do. Good luck!

Sent from my iPad: Sleeved 4/24/2013 by Dr. Farrell @ UNC Hospital---Started: 239lbs--Goal: 150lbs--Current: 202.2lbs

I'd be the first one to say that Raleigh is just as bad as Durham...the only difference is that they don't put all of Raleigh's business in the news like they do with Durham. And Cary, Apex, and even Holly Springs may not be that diverse, they're nice, quiet bedroom communities if you have a family. Just depends on what you're looking for.

Ajeeprider really did a great job summing things up.

I am white and live in Raleigh with my latino and black children. We've never had any issues, but there are definitely areas in Raleigh to avoid just as there are areas in Durham to avoid.

At your age and with you possibly working at Duke, Durham should be a good fit for you. My suggestion would be to try to find an apartment near where you will work that will offer a 6 month lease. I would then explore as much as possible and take the time to get a feel for where you want to settle for the long term.

My surgeon was Dr Yoo who was pretty great but the nursing staff at the hospital were fantastic! :) Who's your surgeon?

I am in Sanford, NC and had my sleeve surgery 2 days ago. So far, so good. I had mine done at Duke Raleigh Hospital. So far, the only "pain" I am having is the large gas bubble in my abdomen. No surgical pain at all!

My surgeon was Dr. Torquati. He and Dr. Yoo are partners! I absolutely love everyone in the office!

What's the date of your surgery? Best of luck! I really loved the staff at DRH. Everyone was so compassionate, helpful, friendly, encouraging. Everything I could have asked for.

I know this is an old post, but could anyone recommend one surgeon over another at Duke? Or the Regional Hospital vs Duke Raleigh hospital? I'm not from the area, and I'm trying to decide on a surgeon but it's hard when you don't know anyone from there. Thanks! You can email me if you would like!

Being sleeved November 14 by Paul Enoch. Having the single Anastomosis version . At Rex. Did y'all ever do a meeting. It would be cool to have a group get together.

Hi. I'm new to this forum. I live in Durham, moved here from Virginia six years ago. Everyone told me I was crazy to move to Durham. They made the city sound so bad, I was reconsidering. I'm glad I took a chance on Durham. I love its diversity, and there's lots to do. You'll never be bored. I have found this city is no better or worse then any other city. Every town has those areas to avoid. Just trust your instincts and use good common sense.

Anyone know Dr. Chan Park?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
