    Hey Jenn. I used to work in Statesville for about 5 years. I started out at Carolinas Weight Loss in Concord but decided to go with another program. Looks like you were sleeved the day before me. :-)

    Hi,

    I was wondering if I could ask a few questions. I am thinking of having the sleeve surgery with Dr. Sudan and I'm wondering how you felt about him as a surgeon and how successful the surgery was for you. Do you think he makes his sleeve small enough? I ask this because I have had folks tell me that they think he makes his sleeve too big. What are your thoughts on this and please share anything you would like about your experience as everything is helpful in my decision making. Am actually debating whether to have the Duodenal switch or the sleeve. Any input would be sooo appreciated.

    Hi Bos,

    If you don't mind my asking, what made you choose Dr. Bruce over other physicians. Trying to figure out how to weed through and pick the best doc.

    Hi Sunshine. i work with someone who used Dr Bruce and she was very happy with him. After meeting him during my initial consultation he struck me as very personable and genuinely a caring person. The entire office staff is great.

    Hello,

    I am going through Duke, have my first appointment Oct 29. They said bring my ID and Insurance card, I am wondering what is the process? How long after the paperwork is submitted do you have for surgery? What is the recovery time from this procedure? I going to use Dr. Yoo heard he was really good, Is there a support group I can attend because I am going to need to attend one, my wife supports my choice but a group would help me with support.

    My husband just had his surgery done by Dr. Bruce at end of August and last year Dr Enoch's did mine. Both are very good Drs, but my hubby said he liked Dr Enoch's better. Personally I liked them both.
