Any Texas Gastric Sleeve Buddies?

Oh yes, Dr. Kim formualted the Protein product he pushes on you so he gets all the profit. He must not be making enough money off of the hundreds of surgeries he does a month. It's all about the money to him. I was at the point of scheduling my surgery when they told me I had to pay a 250 deposit just to 'reserve' my surgery time. You know, to make sure people don't cancel. Who goes through all of the many steps required to have this surgery and then cancels at the last minute?!

I had my revision surgery with Dr. Kim on 1/23. My experience w/ Dr. Kim and his office since last April has been positive. Everyone always took time to explain things to me when I had questions. My surgery was at Baylor Trophy Club and I saw Dr. Kim all 3 days I was there and the facility is top notch. Had my 5 week check up yesterday and I am down 34 lbs!!! Yippee!! Just my 2 cents...btw I live in the Keller-Southlake area. :-)

Hello all dfw sleevers,

I am still in the pre- op stage. I am seeing Dr. David Kim for my surgery. I have a Nut class and stress test on March 23rd, then everything goes to insurance for approval. I'm doing 2 shakes and 1 meal a day Nd have lost 18 lbs so far. I was wondering if any knows how much we should lose before surgery. I'm concerned I haven't lost enough.

Thanks in advance for your input. :)

I am from Southwest Fort Worth! I have not had my surgery yet but I plan to go to Mexico in May to get it done. Unfortunately my insurance will not cover me in the states, but I have heard great things about many Mexican surgeons. Has anyone here gotten their surgery outside the states?

Houston here! 38 days to being sleeved. I am really surprised by the lack of Houstonians.

I'm in Houston, too. Glad to find you!

I will be a Lapband revision, but I'm not scheduled till June.

Where are you having your surgery?

Good luck and keep me posted.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
