Anyone here nearby Raleigh, NC? I've been thinking about attending some Meetup groups but thought I'd check here, too.

Durham - Southpoint Area. Let's get together! I live in a neighborhood with a pool and am willing to host one evening.

I live in Raleigh. Was sleeved 4/8 at Duke Raleigh with Dr Yoo.

Live in Clayton' date=' work in Raleigh. Scheduled for 6/14. Start my pre-op tomorrow.[/quote']

Awesome! I'm also a Clayton gal working in Raleigh. I was sleeved 3/18 with Dr. Yoo. Cool deal on starting your pre-op!

@paperbullets, I'm getting my surgery done by Dr. Enochs.

My surgeon is Dr. Sudan and it will happen at Durham Regional. The pre-surgery appointments are Monday, I'm away the next week, then surgery is on June 18!

Does anyone have more than a handful of VSGers at their support group?

I had surgery April 3rd at Duke Raleigh with Dr. Omotosho.

I am in Apex and am still in the process of getting things together for approval.EKG, chest xray, ultrasound (they found a gallstone) and upper GI this past Friday; EGD and nutritionist this coming Friday.. no surgery date yet, I hope to have scheduled for some time in July.. Dr Jon Bruce in Cary is my surgeon. I'm looking for a support group.

I live in Raleigh and am having a band to sleeve revision at Durham Regional by Dr. Yoo later this month.

Does anyone have experience at Durham Regional? I would have preferred Rex, Duke, or Duke Raleigh, but Durham Regional is the only place Dr. Yoo does revisions.

At Rex hospital waiting to do my pre-op stuff. I can't believe it's so close now. Only 7 days till the DAY!!

Sleeve was done on Friday and I'm finally ready to go home. The gas pain was unbelievable but otherwise I'm doing great. Only had nausea twice and it passed quickly. I haven't looked at a scale yet, because with all this gas I feel so bloated, maybe next week. I'm so excited to be on this new journey.

Congrats Smokey! Glad to hear you are on your way. I had my pre-op appointments last week and get sleeved on Wednesday June 26th. I am so ready to get it done.

I'm in Durham.

The only group I have found is one that meets for the County employees here in Durham. We should probably make our own where we all get together and hang out. Or maybe meet for lunch...at a sleeve friendly place or a park where we bring our own lunch. LOL
