UNC or Duke for surgery?

Both hospital programs are very close by to me, trying to decide which to use. Attended UNC info session, seemed pretty straightforward....duke info session is next week.

How were your experiences if you used one of these programs? Is one more comprehensive than the other in terms of support and follow up post-surgery? I definitely want to have solid support groups available to me post-surgery, when the real work kicks in.

Any info or opinions you can provide on your experience at Duke or UNC would be so appreciated!

      Ask if either is a "center of excellence" in bariatric surgery. These facilities meet a very high standard to obtain this designation. Sent from my SM-S920L using the BariatricPal App

      They're both Centers of Excellence, but I am looking forward to my Duke info session so I can get a sense of their care and post-op support. Dub, your comment really struck a chord with me, thx for t

    I didn't know about it until just now! I think I might be able to come.

    Ha! I am pre-op but I've been assigned Dr. Yoo, too.

    Did you like him NJGirl? Did you have sleeve or bypass?

    I have the sleeve. I changed my mind at the last minute. I was originally set to get the bypass, but as I continued to research both it seemed that the sleeve was a better choice for me.
