      Duke is an amazing place in every way. One of the top medical facilities in the world. You are sure to be in the best of care. I'm jealous.

    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
