i have had an opportunity to work with dr's enochs , dr's moran and dr. bovard and would recommend any of them for WLS.

dr. bovard is new to the area, but has done several lap bands since he's been @ FRMC in louisburg. i think he (dr. bovard) does more lap bands than RNYs but just check on that. i certainly think you would be happy with your decision if you chose him.

Hello there. I was just banded last week by Dr. Bovard at FRMC.

I must say that my experience has been great. Dr. Bovard and his staff have been very personable and caring during the whole process. My experience at Franklin Reg. Medical Center was excellent, also.

I highly recommend him to you.:biggrin:

I was so excited to see that you found Dr. Bovard!!! You are going to LOVE this guy. Dr. Bovard and his staff are so wonderful. Let me tell you a little story about him. I was having a terrible case of gastrointeritis (vomitimg due to virus) and I called Dr. Bovard. My son was also sick at the same time and I desperatly needed to have his checked out at the ER. Well, we were in Raleigh NC at the time, and I didn't know where in the world to take my son. Dr. Bovard told me where to take him, and said it was the same place that he and his wife take their twins. THEN this wonderful man met me AFTER HOURS and gave me prescribtions to help me feel better, even though it was completly out of his way and almost 9pm. Dr. Bovard is THE BEST in my opinion...there could not POSSIBLY be a better Dr. in the entire world. My lap band was done on October 1, 2008 and I have had nothing but success with it so far. Should there ever be a time that I do have a problem, I am cofident that Dr. Bovard and his staff (Cassie, such a doll and Dr. Bovard's wife, Lynn also a sweetie) will be there for me and will assist me in whatever way they possibly can. I love these people and not only have I gained a wonderful health care professional...I also feel that I have gained wonderful new friends and "family" in them. They have never treated me as a "paitent" so to speak. I always feel like I have known them my whole life. I cannot say enough about them...you will find out for yourself when you go see them that this is NOT your average "run of the mill" doctor....he's an angel in a lab coat and scrubs!!!!:Dancing_sorry:

hi,

i was banded by Dr. Bovard on Dec. 22. He's awesome! again, i'd known him through working with him @ the hospital, and had always had wonderful experiences with him when caring for his patients. i felt like i knew what kind of Dr. he was. He does not disappoint!! i've known his office manager for years and love her as well. she goes above and beyond for the patients. I couldn't give a higher recommendation for a surgeon.:):Banane20:

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
