Hi!! I was sleeved on June 26,2013. I went to Duke Raleigh where Dr. Phillip Omotosho performed my surgery. Dr. Yoo is a great surgeon also affiliated with Duke. They also both do surgeries in Duke Regional as well. Google Duke Metabolic Weight Loss for more details abt the seminar and meeting the doctor. I had a very pleasant experience with my doctor.

Thanks Wink. I was thinking about using Dr. Sudan. Have you heard anything about him. I know that he is able to perform pretty much any surgery-even the duodenal switch.

Dr. Jon Michael Bruce. He's at "The Sleeve Center" in Cary, NC.

He did mine. My surgery was done in Durham, NC at the NORTH CAROLINA SPECIALTY HOSPITAL. Good luck.

Dr. Torquati (associated with Duke Hospital) was awesome!! The staff in the office is friendly, helpful and courteous. The process was fast and very informative. I highly recommend Duke Metabolic Center.m

I had Dr. Sudan -- great outcome. He uses the Da Vinci robotic system, so there's much less pain and faster healing than traditional laparoscopic surgery. He's quiet and thoughtful; I like that in a healthcare provider. Dr. Sudan published one of the first academic articles on DS, of which VSG is the first part and means that he has gobs of experience with the procedure.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
