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. :)

San Antonio - Sleeved on the 5th and taking it one day at a time :D - no regrets so far!

Congrats. Hope all goes well for you.

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.
