I had my surgery with Dr. Enochs, now going on a year. He was a wonderful surgeon and I enjoy his staff, especially since he has moved back to Cary. I've lost 55 pounds and hope to lose 70 to 80 more. Yes, its a slow process, however it is a process that continues to work a pound at a time. The scale is going in the right direction! Thanks for all the feedback on Dr. Enochs, for me it was the right decision.

Dr. Enochs is the best around. He did my surgery on December 27th and I had no problems. He gave me a choice if I wanted to stay in the hospital since my surgery was so late in the afternoon and I told him I would go home if there were no problems. Lisa Long and the rest of his staff is also very nice and very helpful. Everything they told me has been true and the book they give you to help you along the way is the best. I have read that book a thousand times. I have now lost 20 pounds and I feel great.

I'm going to be the party pooper here and say that I have NOT been pleased with Dr. Enoch's office. He is a fantastic surgeon. There is no doubt of that. I was incredibly pleased with the surgery itself.

That said, the follow up and fill appointments have left MUCH to be desired. I won't go into every issue I've had there (you can read about some of them on my blog though) but I can tell you that I know THREE other people who have recently been banded with him and we all have the exact same complaints.

In fact, one of my friends went to speak with him directly and he admitted that his practice has grown too fast, they don't have enough space and therefore cannot hire more staff and thus, patients are getting lost in the dust.

Wait times are awful. You have to book a minimum of 4 weeks in advance for a fill. They won't do fills unless under flouro which, in my case and others, has meant that we don't get very large fills and are having to go back frequently for them. The cost for fills b/c of the flouro is astronomical. My insurance pays for most, but not all.

It is a virtual fill-factory in there -- and I NEVER see the doctor. Even when it is requested. He does the surgery and is done with you, unfortunately.

Yes, he is a good surgeon but if you want a relationship with your doctor and his staff, this is NOT the place to go.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
