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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
