I have just gotten approval for ma surgery pending fulfilling requirements for Aetna. Anyone out there from north Dallas area having or had the sleeve? Would like to hear from some local patients. I will have surgery March or April with Dr Nick.

Congrats on your approval! I hope and expect that all will go beautifully for you from here!

I will be interested to see what everyone has to say. I am just starting to look into revising from LapBand to sleeve. If my doc did revisions to sleeve, I would definitely be going back to him...I LOVE ME SOME DR. MARSDEN! But alas, he does not...so I am on the hunt for a sleeve doc in DFW.

I live in North Dallas, and was sleeved by Jeffrey Henke, MD in November. I never had the band, so can't speak to a revision specifically, but Dr Henke is WONderful. He and his partner Joseph Kuhn, MD, have offices at Medical City Dallas and at Baylor.

I am in Plano and will be getting sleeved on Dec. 31 - Dr. Cribbins. My sister had her surgery with him 3 years ago and was very pleased.

There are loads of DFWers here, me included! If you haven't already, I highly suggest you start visiting the many support groups in this area: http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/259587-dfw-area-weight-loss-surgery-support-groups-list/

      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? 🤷‍♀️
