Any recommendations for DS surgeons near Western North Carolina?



Recommended Posts

The practice I started going through for surgery seemingly does not have any awareness of or knowledge of DS - which I find difficult to believe, but the lack of knowledge of it has been verified by the blank faces when I attempt to ask a general question - so I am in search of a solid practice and surgeon with whom I can discuss DS as an option. Any suggestions? Or has anyone travelled just for surgery and really liked the surgeon?

I am using Dr. Paul Enochs with Bariatric Specialists of NC. They are good, but if my insurance would have allowed it REX Bariatric was my #1 choice for office. I'm having the DS in the next few weeks. I get my surgery date today after my Final results visit at noon.

Look into Dr. Sudan at Duke's program. He is top in this procedure and the Duke program is worth the trip. At my pre-op day yesterday, 2 of the 6 people there were from out of state. For the DS especially, you only want the very best doctor, and Dr. Sudan is world renowned in this.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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!
