My insurance required 6 months of supervised weight loss attempt an Aug. 23 is my final visit with them. I just found out that Dr. Marsden will be my surgeon but the only info I can find on him is lap band.Any info you can offer will be helpful, I will having the VGS sometime in Sept.

Make sure you are comfortable with your surgeon. It is the most important decision you can possibly make. There are many experienced and some nationally recognized people in Dallas, so you have the very best to choose from. make sure you get plenty of information and are really comfortable with the doctor's number of procedures. Keep reaching out here for feedback on any doctor you are considering.

www.vitals.com is a highly respected rating service. My docs say they watch this to make sure they are rated well. might be worth a peek.

I had my final visit at TR today - but won't see Dr Mardsen till insurance is approved (sent in today) and the results from the freaking H-Pylori test. but all in all I have really had a good experience with TR in Richardson and even though they know WHAT the insurance company is looking for, I have stayed on top of it as well for my personal peace of mind.

Glad you like Dr Mardsen - all I've heard in really kind words about him and his personality.

My blood work came back and I have H. Pylori. Fortunately, I have time to take all of the antibiotics before my final visit with TR on the 23rd. Still looking for reviews on Dr. Marsden. Seems like most of his lap band clients are very happy with him....

Hey keisha sorry to hear that but it will get better and surgery day will be here before you know it!! Dr. Marsden did an awesome job on removing my lapband and giving me the gastric sleeve I was very impressed by him and so was my sister she got the sleeve done from him as well. Also all the nurses and staff at baylor medical center all spoke highly about him!

Dr Marsden is extremely well regarded in the lap band world. On top of that, he is one of the nicest, brutally honest, want to invite him over for dinner and a beer kind of guy. I met with him after speaking with several health care professionals in the bariatric surgery field. Every one of them told me Dr. Marsden for the LB. During my visit with him he mentioned that he had done only 12 sleeve's, but had been trough all of the training and then some.

With that said... About a week before my LB surgery was to happen, I found out that none of the follow-ups were with him or his staff, but rather true results. This put me off a bit and was enough for me to put surgery on hold and rethink everything. He was honestly such an awesome guy, that I had made my decision on the LB just because I liked him so much. In the end my family and I felt the sleeve was a better decision and I chose Dr. Kim based on more experience in that surgery.

I don't say any of the above to steer anyone away, I would feel very confident in Dr. Marsden's work. His staff is exceptional as well.

I am set to have surgery with Dr. Marsden on the 5th. I didn't get to meet with him, but I met with his assistant Jodie. I feel very comfortable with them.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
