Dr. Enochs did my surgery Lap Band in August 2005. e-mail me if you want more information. BTW, my weight loss scale is not accurate, I have lost 110 pounds.

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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
