Are there any Dallas or surrounding areas sleevers here? ?????

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!!

Hey All,

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?

Hello Dallasites. I'm in Carrollton scheduled for May 12 with Dr. Veninga. Glad I found you all. Nice to chat with the "locals".

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.

michael622, you will love Dr. Cribbins he was my sleeve surgeon and my gallbladder surgeon 3 yrs prior .

My sleeve was October 2013, the gallbladder surgery prior .

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!!!
