Melissa,
All of the surgeon's at Duke are exceedingly competent, so no matter who you have you will be in good hands. I have met Dr. Portenier and think highly of him; he has a good bedside manner and is great at communicating with his patients. I also know Dr. Yoo and think well of him. He practices at both the Durham and Raleigh facilities. While I don't know the other surgeon's at Duke, I do know that they are all very competent.
Wishing you all the best,

Going to the dentist is no fun. I was in there for an hour and a half yesterday. All of a sudden my teeth are deciding they don't like me very well.
Today is another work day. Depending on how I feel, that may be all I get done. So, what are you all up to today?

Hi Jackie,

Thanks! Jackie
I will be having surgery at Rex in Raleigh, end of April or first of May, with Dr Ng. I love the Rex Surgical team. All of the staff is very helpful and I can ask any questions I want by email......
The WLS doctors come to all the Informational and Support meeting and they are held at Rex on Blue Ridge Rd.
Hope that helps!
Here are some of the snacks that work for me:
Greek yogurt with fresh fruit
Lunch meat - i.e., sliced ham, turkey or roast beef
Nuts
Cottage cheese dressed up to be sweet or savory
Smoothie made with greek yogurt and/or tofu

Today is an exciting day! I get to see Dr. Sudan and have my diet shifted! Also having a group session which I'm sure will be fun.
I let the dogs out last night to play in the snow and they did zoomies around the yard for a good half an hour. I think they were more excited than I was!!
For the past couple of nights my left thigh/hip has been super sore like I've strained it too hard or something but I can't think of what I've done to do so. Its fine during the day and then when I'm trying to sleep it flares up and I have to take pain meds for it. :/ Guess I'll ask the Dr. about it.
Hope ya'll have a great day!!

Well we had our first dusting of snow last night! That is fine, don't mind overnight dustings. I know some folks want a lot of snow but I had my fill up in PA the last three years.
Today is my support group at Curves. Then put in a few hours in other stuff. I have a dental appointment this afternoon. I have no idea for what. I never remember lol. So I will be all numbed up this evening for a little while.
Have you ever had the same dream all night? That must mean something. huh? I know I had to play footsie with the dog all night. Every place I moved, she moved into. Why doesn't she bug her dad all night. She bugs him all day long and then ME all night. Go figure.
What are you up to today?
