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!

My surgery date is May 15th, nervous & excited! Looking for a buddy to talk through the process / share food ideas, discuss pain issues and just see what works for others! I am a working Mom in my late 40's w/a supportive husband and grown daughter. Just wanting to share with someone going through same thing! Oh and I'm a Dallas area Texan!

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!!! :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
