Kya Wolf 69 Posted October 26, 2014 I was sleeved by Dr. Portenier from Duke Metabolic Weight Loss Center. Was SO impressed by him and everyone in their office. I researched them well prior to going with them and their results were good with low complication rate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emtabulous 11 Posted December 3, 2014 AH how has the past month been? any suggestions? There have been struggles but all the positives make it great! I am down 43+ lbs. the first 48 hrs were miserable (gas pain and nausea) but I woke up that first day at home and felt pretty darn good. My energy has been slow to come back. But I just moved to stage 4 in the book and am getting more calories and feeling a lot better. Heider is very concise and good at what he does--easy on the eyes, too! His office staff is AMAZING. I emailed Tiffany at 530 in the morning one day about acid reflux from hell and had a response by 7 and a RX called in by 9. I have not once regretted this. Feel free to msg me.

TrixieTalks 1 Posted December 6, 2014 I am in the Cary area and was sleeved on Nov 3 by Dr. Roy at WakeMed; best decision I ever made. Just celebrated by one month surgiversary with a 22lb weight loss and overall loss of 15 inches. I have been blessed throughout the whole process, which for me, started in September. I swear, if it weren't for the fact that I am never hungry and can eat so very little, and the five little incision marks, I wouldn't know they had actually done anything. No complications, no nausea or anything. I was sleeved on a Monday and shopping on Wednesday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tori Loukas 52 Posted December 6, 2014 I can so relate, trixietalks! I had my sleeve done by Dr.David Miles in Wilmington, NC in September. I've lost 50 lbs. since then, and also sometimes wonder if he really did anything at all, because I have had zero pain, complications, or nausea! The only problem I had was Constipation for about a month from the gall bladder pills I'm taking for 6 months, but even that has since reversed itself. Sleeve Life is awesome!!
