Hello. I live in Durham. My endoscopy scheduled for Dec. 18th. I have Dr. Park. I'm praying everything goes well, and I'll get approved for gastric bypass. Good Luck everyone. I'll say a prayer for you as well.

I will be getting my procedure done at Duke Regional.. I really wanted to get it done at Rex but because I work for Duke there is a clause that certain surgeries must be done through Duke. It's not so bad I guess but some things are just none of another's business !! My preop is complete and should have my date next week ????

I haven't told anyone at my job I was having weightloss surgery except my boss. I don't plan on telling the rest of them, but I think eventually they will figure it out, especially if I start losing a lot of weight in a short period of time. Other than that, I told my immediate family.

I know what you mean about some things not being another's business.

I had my procedure done at Duke. My doctor was great the staff on the other hand were terrible. I would rate this hospitals care as the worst hospital I've ever been treated at... Well I would narrow it down to this particular department. It was so bad I asked if I could be moved to another floor with better care or if I could just go home. They sent me home! I was throwing up blood, not getting any fluids in and in a terrible amount of pain. It was in the middle of a winter storm and I lived 4 hours away and they let me go home. I don't wish to ever go back there again for another procedure

      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! 😞
