VSG Tommy B 10 Posted June 4, 2013 I live in Raleigh and am having a band to sleeve revision at Durham Regional by Dr. Yoo later this month. Does anyone have experience at Durham Regional? I would have preferred Rex, Duke, or Duke Raleigh, but Durham Regional is the only place Dr. Yoo does revisions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smokey 220 110 Posted June 16, 2013 Sleeve was done on Friday and I'm finally ready to go home. The gas pain was unbelievable but otherwise I'm doing great. Only had nausea twice and it passed quickly. I haven't looked at a scale yet, because with all this gas I feel so bloated, maybe next week. I'm so excited to be on this new journey. 2 neneh_vsg and 45ormore reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
