I am right there with you, I picked Dr. Enochs and hope to schedule the surgery at Rex. They seemed very familiar with the insurance/process.

Good choice, Dr. Enoch is great. I'm going to Dr. Bruce. My husband works in one of the hospitals they perform surgery, and he says their all awesome plus His Co worker went there for her surgery, and she is very happy with her results, and loved the decision she has made. They have many good doctors there. Good luck!

If you have Facebook check out Dr. Enoch, Dr. Bruce, and the other doctors.. there all great. The page is called: Bariatrics Specialists of NC... it's on Facebook. Also they have a few of YouTube videos, and one of them is a brief video of Dr. Bruce performing the sleeve surgery. Good luck!

And, let's try to stay updated with each other (if you'll don't mind) since we are in the same location, and possibly seeing the same circle of doctors.

Sure thing, Ms. Ladywarren. I am glad to find other girls in this area are in the same boat! I will see if I can figure out to follow you here, I would be glad to hear how it goes with triangle girls! Too, I appreciate hearing the good words on the docs.

I went to the introduction seminar at Rex last night and was very impressed. I plan on having Dr. Sharp be my surgeon. Now I just need to go through all the tests and go to all the meetings so I can get insurance's approval.

I know this post is from a little bit ago but I started looking into this about the same time and just got the sleeve with Dr Enochs. Did you ladies get through the process with him also!

I went with Dr. Bruce, they work together. All the doctors are good. I've heard great things about Dr. Enochs. Congratulations!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
