Best Surgeon in Raleigh/Durham area for the sleeve surgery?

Would love input on who you think is the best surgeon in the NC area for the sleeve surgery. Has anyone had particularly good outcomes and low complication rates?

Hi Sunshine,

Here is a link to a list of surgeons in your area that does the VSG.  Read the members reviews and if any sound interesting give the office a call.

Thank you member services!

Dr. Scott Bovard of Triangle Weight Loss did my surgery last month and my experience from the first time I spoke with the office to present has been amazing.  The approval process was easy and they scheduled all of the procedures needed together in one day. I had zero complications after surgery. His office is located in North Raleigh off of Capital Blvd. I would highly recommend him!

If you call, tell them Todd Robbins sent you!

I had Dr. Overby at UNC Memorial in Chapel Hill.  He and Dr. Farrell are both great, they do sleeves and rny, and band revisions.  The hospital is a blue cross "center of excellence".  And they have had zero leaks.  After surgery you have to go to radiology for a leak check before you get anything from dietary.  Expect a 2 night stay in the hospital.  The floor you stay on even has musical "get up and move" time, to encourage everyone to come out of their rooms and walk!  They also keep up with you for five years after surgery.  I am very happy with the care I've received so far.  I just wish I lived closer so I could go to the support group meetings.

Do you by chance know what size sleeve Dr Overby does and do you have any info on his success rates, complication rates and how his patients have done with losing their excess weight?
