Has Anyone In The Dfw Area Used Dr Adam Smith With Fort Worth Lapband?



Recommended Posts

I went with Dr. Barker after lots of research and did the sleeve on June 6. Today I hit 50lbs weight loss and have been extremely satisfied with him and his staff!!

I too live in FW and am a few weeks away from surgery. I am using Dr. Kim. I have had a fantastic experience with his entire staff! I agree that it is weird not seeing your Dr., but I have been so happy with his staff it dosent matter! I compared it to taking your car to the shop lol. I never meet the mechanic that worked on it, but if they have good customer service specialists I feel comfortable and in good hands!

So on that note, go with a surgeon you feel has the best experience. Not the best "salesman"

I think you are smart to interview multiple surgeons. I met with two: Dr. Frenzel and Dr. Nick both of whom operate at Forrest Park Medical Center. Loved Dr. Nick and his staff instantly. He performed my surgery on Aug. 7th, and I have been very pleased with my decision to use him.

I feel bad each time I make an appointment at a different doctor. For one I am more than ready to get this process started. But I hate to waste their time if I don't choose them. But then again I am the patient and I am the one interviewing them I guess you would say. I have heard so many great reviews about Dr.Nick. I really need to give him a call. Congradulations on your surgery. How have you been feeling?

I had to remind myself that this was not just surgery, but elective surgery followed by a long term commitment for following up with a surgeon and his staff. I wanted to be extra sure I was comfortable with the whole process.

I am 9 days out and feeling OK. I had a bad nausea reaction to the anesthesia which made my hospital stay a bit more challenging that the average you read about on here, but I am home now and chugging along. The biggest shock to me has been my lack of energy post op. Its hard to feel perky when you are living on Water and chicken broth, but I am well on my way being past this stage, and confident that this was the right choice for me.

Good Luck in making your decision!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
