Can't get the surgery if over 50+ BMI
Hi there! I can vouch for Dr. Sudan at Duke. He performs all of the surgeries, and he can give you some guidance on which to go with. He's a very straight-forward surgeon, he's not one to chat with you about the weather... but he's super knowledgeable and very caring. If you'd like to know more, please feel free to send me a message on here. There is a Facebook page for NC DSers. Definitely check out the DS. I was going to have the RNY, and had never heard of the DS before. After doing my research, I realized the DS was perfect for me.
I wish you the best of luck! Us NC gals gotta stick together. :)

If you hadn't driven away the people who KNOW this stuff, you wouldn't be looking so foolish now with what you are posting.
In a word, YES it matters and NO it's not about going by state. So don't try to talk about this. You have no idea what you're talking about and you're making yourself look worse by the moment.
I will be happy to assist holders of Tricare. Y'all know where to find me.

1) Must be some southern bias, I guess :)
2) Weren't all NC'ers SC-bound, eventually?
3) Thanks for just sayin'!! (My intentions plus other people's intelligence might potentially add up to some utility).
I'll see if I can get the full state database set up, browsable by state + insurer.
That was actually the very first database ObesityHelp.com launched with in 1998. I know I knmow... I'll get on it.
Anyway, thanks.
