I Live in Durham, NC by Southpoint mall. I'm doing everything through Duke. I haven't had surgery yet. My surgery date scheduled for Feb. 18th. @ Duke Regional hospital. I'm waiting on insurance approval. I'm a little worried, nervous and excited. My emotions are all over the place, but mentally I'm ready.

Any weight loss surgeries via Duke? Who was or is the doctor?

I had my surgery Monday morning on April 25th. I was really sleepy and groggy at first but then Hours later, that evening I was up walking the hallway. I was released from the hospital the next day. There is some pain, but nothing i didn't expect, the pain is manageable with pain meds. My biggest problem so far is remembering to get my fluids in. The Protein Drinks I liked before surgery, I just barely tolerate now, so my taste has changed. Even Water doesn't taste the same.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
