Want information about surgeon



Recommended Posts

I am exploring a revision surgery with Dr. Paul Enochs of Triangle Bariatric in NC. Has anyone had him or have any advice? I had RNY surgery in 2006 and have gained back all but 40 lbs of the weight I lost. I would love to revise to a DS, but I have heard that not all surgeons can do this and that it is very complicated. Dr. Enochs web site says he does this surgery, but I am worried since it is so complicated. Thanks for your comments!

I can't address dr. Enoch's but if you are local in Durham area, I can recommend dr. Portenier at duke metabolic center. There complication rate is way below normal and the staff is wonderful.

Maybe you should post like this Dr. Enoch's Questions , because I know there are a few people that have had different surgeries with Him on these sites and maybe they can give you more feed back.

I will parrot Kya Wolf and say that I have not heard of him, but I am seeing Dr. Park at Duke Metabolic Center and also have a complicated surgery. I know a couple of people that have used Duke in the past and they were very happy with the outcomes.

I hope you find your answers,Good Luck

      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.
