Important announcement
Outpatient Clinic Relocation
The Duke Center for Metabolic and Weight Loss Surgery is undergoing exciting new changes to provide exceptional services and care for patients. In November 2008, the program's outpatient clinic will relocate to an expanded, state-of-the-art facility, located at Durham Regional Hospital's Health Services Center.
In preparation for the move and grand opening, we will not be holding the weekly weight loss surgery information seminars. Seminars will resume in January 2009. Thank you for your patience.
Additionally, Durham Regional has updated its operating rooms and added six bariatric inpatient suites, designed to meet the needs of weight loss surgery patients.
With our multidisciplinary staff we provide a full spectrum of health care. Due to our
total commitment to patient care, our excellent results, and among the lowest
complication rates in the country, we have been nationally recognized as
a Center of Excellence by the American Society for Bariatric Surgery
and in addition, in North Carolina, by the North Carolina Blue Cross Blue Shield Company.
The Duke University Health System Weight Loss Surgery Center has developed a
comprehensive program of education and care for morbidly obese patients, offering
the laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure and the laparoscopic LapBand
procedure. Our medical, psychological, nutritional, and surgical staff specializes in the
surgical management of obesity and will diligently work with you to be successful in
losing weight permanently with recovery of good health and, as our patients say, "Get
my life back!"
We look forward to working with you... |
