I went for my first appt. with Dr Torquati on 8-27-13. Saw nutritionist and psych and had labs drawn. Got my letter today from BC&BS......Accepted! I recognized he was organized to a tee, but never dreamed it would go this fast.
I too kinda started this week. I got my surgery date--- Oct 7th w/ Dr. Heider at Lake Norman Regional. i have to do a 2 wk optifast diet prior-- so I have approx 2 wks to continue my bad/eat everything life and then it's all new... i'm freaked out, but excited.
I have my initial consultation with Dr. Sudan on 9/12/2013. I have been on my second journey since January, 2013. my initial surgery was 3/19/2003.
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

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 know that we have members that have had revisions, but I don't recall if the revisions were from an RNY to a DS. I do believe that Duke has surgeons with experience doing revisions from an RNY to DS. I know that Dr. Sudan is very experienced

Have any of your people have a RNY to DS by Dr. Sudan, or does he perform them at all? My initial consultation is scheduled for 9/12.
