Any recommendations for DS surgeons near Western North Carolina?

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.
