    Im also from Raleigh NC. I actually work in Clayton NC. I had my DS on 31Dec2018. I was borderline obese and had a highly modified DS. I was diagnosed with hig blood pressure and pre-diabetes along with sleep ap so I qualified for the surgery.

    Ive dropped 40lbs so far. My incisions are still sore actually!

    My wife proceeded me with her DS Mid Dec 2018. She had a terrible start with major gas pains but quickly got over them. She is also doing well and progressing right along.
