Any Pre-Op Sleevers In Dfw, Tx?



Recommended Posts

I'm in McKinney, TX. and pre-sleeve. I'm heading to Cancun for mine, though. Insurance wants me to give them both arms and legs to have WLS and definitely feel this is the way to go for me. :)

He mentioned about a possible hernia but never about possibly getting any monies back....wow another one of God's blessing's if that happens but then I don't want a hernia either so a catch 22 isn't it?

My friend had her's with Dr Kim as well on Jan 30th has lost 90-lbs. We had dinner the other night and she looks absolutely great, happy, healthy a glow that I never saw in the 20+ years I have known her. She has been a great asset with advice and knowing that not everything that worked for her will work for me.

Dr Kim is very direct and honestly if your looking for bedside manner he is not your guy but his staff you could not ask for anyone nicer. I am okay with him not being great bedside manner...all I care about is his experience, results and past patients experiences...all of which have been good.

I have started writing in a journal to help with my emotions, excitment, etc. I have only told a few friends and my immediate family.

My friends said December 13th Christmas time...my response. There will always be other holidays, etc and this is no different so bring on December 13th...

Thank you all for the information and support. I can't wait for December 13th.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
