Anyone from nc or went to duke metabolic and weight loss center
My surgery was also in Greenville but I have a friend who had hers at Duke about 10 years ago.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference...
WE CAN DO HARD THINGS!!!
I'm doing great. I went from a size 20 down to a size 8. I'm almost a year out so my loss has slowed down but I'm already at the point where people are telling me if I lose anymore weight I'll be too thin. lol.
Complication: I developed pneumonia(not common so don't freak out) because I didn't do the breathing treatments(stupid move I know). I had to spend an extra week in the hospital and had to have an "exploratory surgery" so they could figure out what was wrong with me and why I had a high fever. I was fine after a few days and had lost almost twenty pounds.
It takes a lot of adjusting and will power to do this, but once its done and we've lost the weight and are healthier we are so much better off.
Good luck. :)
