Hello. My surgeon was Dr. David Kim and I had surgery at Forest Park Medical Center at Dallas, Texas. Dr. Kim is fantastic and made the experience so much better than it could have been. He is very experienced and has an extremely good bedside manner. The hospital was state of the art. I would highly recommend surgeon and hospital to anyone.

Hi - my surgeon was Dr. Carlos Paiva in Asuncion, Paraguay. I stayed in San Roque Hospital for 3 days. I highly recommend him -- he was excellent as was the medical care. (Oh, didn't think of this -- no one spoke English -- maybe rudimentary -- that wasn't a problem for me, but maybe for others.)

My surgeon is Dr. Nowzaradan and I am having my surgery at University General Hosptial. My doctor was featured on TLC/ Discovery, as he performed weight loss surgery on the Half Ton Teen. I really like him and his staff is very caring! He is a revision specialist, so that was very important to me since I have lapband complications. I will let you know more after my revision.

My surgeon was Dr. James Davidson, surgery was at Forest Park Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. ( he has the Center of Excellence stamp of approval) As previously stated, Forest Park is a state of the art private hospital for cash pay patients. Dr. Davidson's insurance patients are treated at Presbyterian Hosptial in Dallas, which is an excellent hospital as well. I highly recommend him as well as his entire team, they're a great group!!

Dr. Suni Cavasos was my surgeon, and the surgery was done at Foudation Surgical Hosipital in San Antonio, TX. It was a really nice hospital, private and all the nurses/tech's were excellent as well as Dr. Cavasos.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
