Hi,

I'm trying to find a good bariatric surgeon in the Dallas Ft. Worth area. Any suggestions????

Thanks in advance for all suggestions. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed trying find a doctor.

Hi! I am using Dr. Victor Gonzalez in Dallas. He and his staff are very caring and knowledgable. I am getting my EGC Friday and being cleared by cardiologist today. I have scheduled surgery for Nov. 17.

I live in west Texas, about 5 hours away. My insurance does not have an in network Dr. closer than Dallas so I had to go to the Dallas area. I did a lot of research and calling Drs. in the area and decided on Dr. Gonzalez. I really like him :)

Each doctor usually has a seminar you need to attend. I attended his, and he actually did it himself, him and an expert on nutrition. I really learned a lot. I actually was dead set on lap band, but after speaking to someone there that had had lap band, and hearing how great the sleeve has been, I decided to get the sleeve.

Let me know if I can answer anything else for you. My email address is midlandrhonda@gmail.com

My husband and I live in Wichita Falls but came to Dallas for surgery. We used Dr. Jayaseelan at Dallas Bariatric Center. We loved him and his staff. Our surgeries were 13 months ago and neither one of us have had any problems. He's lost 100 pounds and surpassed his goal and I've lost 128 so far. I highly recommend Dr. Jay.

imsoglad56,

Did you or your husband have hair loss? That is a big concern for me.

I'm in Fort Worth and I used Dr Adam Smith. I'm only a few weeks post-op but I've had no problems at all. I would recommend him.

He did not. My hair thinned some, but not too bad. It's thickening back up now.

Wow! Thank you all for the GREAT suggestions, I really appreciate them. :) I've been researching and I thought about Dr. Louis Fox but I haven't made any appointments. I just signed up for my employers insurance which happens to be BCBSIL, so I'm just waiting for my insurance card. Would anyone happen to know the approval process for BCBCIL, is there a 6 month supervised diet? Any information would be helpful.

      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?

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?

      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! 😞
