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.
