Dallas Dr. Victor Gonzalez



Recommended Posts

If anyone's had surgery with Dr. Gonzales in Dallas I would really like to hear from you. I am currently in the stages of talking to his coordinator and I'm just about ready to book my surgery and would really like some patient feedback.

I was able to find lots of happy patients of Dr. G. Also his patient coordinator, Shannon, is really fantastic and answered all of my questions promptly. I would have felt completely content having surgery with dr. Gonzalez, however I was able to find another good surgeon close enough that I can drive and not need to purchase airfare.

The only drawback on using Dr. G is that he requires two trips, one for consultation and seminar and then a second trip for the actual surgery. He will not do everything in one trip. For out-of-state patients, that is a huge inconvenience not only on time but on the wallet.

I chose Dr. Umbach in Las Vegas and have my surgery booked for 10/10.

I had my PCP do the EKG and labs just so I could get them out of the way and my insurance covered a portion. I would suggest doing as much leg work as you can before-hand because it helps move things along. I will keep you posted on my surgery. Please keep me posted as well.

If you dont mind me asking how much is surgery at metroplex?

I haven't been told the price yet. I'm not self pay but I'd guess 12,000 or so but self pay is always cheaper.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
