I got my date! April 24th....Instead of Dr Kim performing my surgery, my insurance is requiring me to use Dr Holden at Baylor Trophy Club. I am a little nervous because I chose Dr Kim for his experience. Has anyone used Dr Holden?? I start my pre-op diet in a little over 2 weeks! It is starting to get very real!!

I had his partner, Dr. Cribbins (at Presby Plano), and also had a very good experience!

Welcome RedsMom! Ask away. There are also numerous support groups throughout the Metroplex, each with a different personality. I really suggest that you hook up with one or more. Who's your Dr? And where is your procedure to be?

Having my initial consult with Dr Cribbins on Thursday at Presbyterian Plano. Hopefully plan to get surgery done by end of the year insurance requrirements pending. I'm sure there will be a million questions but looking forward to finally getting this done after years of procrastinating.

Michael, I was sleeved by Dr. Cribbins in Dec 2013 and thought he was great and the Plano Presby Bariatric Center of excellence was fantastic. The floor you stay on is all baritric patients and everyone there knows so much about the recovery process.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Hi guys!

Sorry I'm a little late to the party, but I just got approved for my surgery date (May 20th) last week! I'm from the Dallas area looking for a bariatric buddy to discuss a few things with. I'm 28yo, female, and my surgeon is Dr. Holden (Dr. Kim's partner). Will be having my surgery done at Texas General Hospital. If anyone can give me any insight on Dr. Holden/Texas General Hospital I'd appreciate it!!! :)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
