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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
