Started my journey this week

I am taking this slowly, but surely.  Selected Dr. Torquati at Duke for WLS.  My first appt. was this week...wow were they organized.   On this one day, I completed my appt. with the surgeon, labs, psych. consult, and nutrition consult.  I chose to wait on my EKG and chest xray.  I was seen either a little early or on time for each appointment, and found the staff to be very professional and friendly. The doctor was a very good listener and did not seem rushed or impatient.  I have to see cardio. and hematology before we can progress further, but so far ......its all good!

I'm glad to gear that you had such a good experience and wish you all the best as you move forward in your journey.

Well let me just say Dr Torquati is my man, but I will let you borrow him haha. I had him as my surgeon almost 4 years ago and am very happy with my results!!!!!!

I wish you all the best
