Dr. Dirk Rodriguez, North Texas / Southern Oklahoma Weight Loss Surgery ? Bariatric Solutions, at the Las Colinas office. I had my procedure in Decatur and couldn't have asked for a better experience! I was self-pay and the procedure cost $12,000. Dr. Dirk has performed over 1000 sleeves so I was willing to pay for his amazing bed-side manner and experience. Plus this program comes with support from a nutritionist and a exercise therapist to guarantee success all included in the price. You can call, email, or make appointments with them anytime to discuss your progress make meal/exercise planes, etc. The support is really there with this surgeon.

I'm so sorry for your loss! Pugs really do light up the world. They are such funny little dogs. So much personality in a little-bitty face. Puggles are just too cute.

Since the onset of my fibromyalgia I have been very limited in my ability to exercise. With a very low resting metabolic rate (approx 1250) and the side effect of weight gain with many of my meds I sadly put on weight very quickly. Despite my best efforts I was not able to slow the progression and went from about 125 to 185 in about 18 months. My family history includes all of the comorbidities of diabetes, heart disease, early age stroke, cancer, etc so I am terrified of not being able to prevent their onset. Prior to the fibro I always kept very fit to stave off the genes I inherited.

Although 185 is relatively small for a bariatric surgery it is still obese at my height. My surgeon agreed that we could do the surgery now or wait another 18 months for the pounds to pile on. I have been sleeved for 6 days and have already lost 5 pounds. I am thrilled with the decision.
