Need a recommendation for sleeve surgery in Durham NC or in NC

Hi there,

I'm sure that Dr. Bruce would love to answer all of the questions you have about this techniques if you give his office a call!

Good luck in your journey!

Hey there I'm Lo-

I'm scheduled for Sleeve Surgery at the end of this month- dunno if you've gone with anyone yet- but the Team over at Duke has a pretty good track record- I see them in Raleigh but the Surgery will be done there in Durham at Regional.

My Doc is Dr Yoo- I have 3 other friends I know who also used him.

I chose Duke because most of my history is with the Duke system- and they too have a good rep. 

I don't know Tina's doc but I know Tina- she's a pretty big insipration for me and my journey- I met her thru TriangleMommies.com.

HI TINA!! :)

Good luck with your decision!

Hi Lo,

Did doctor Yoo discuss what size bougie he uses, how he shapes the sleeve and how he closes his sleeve (ie. staples or staples and stitches etc). Did he also go over his leak rate and morbidity rate?  Just curious. Trying to figure this all out for myself.
