<p>HI! </p> <p>Just went to seminar at Baylor in Dallas. REally liked Dr barnes who is with Dr Arnold and DR Kuhn. Did you decide on a Dr? After the seminar they had some patients there to answer questions and they spoke highly of both Dr Arnold and Dr Kuhn. Did you go to their seminar? What did you think about it?</p>

Hi SCMARTIN...I went to their seminar about a year ago. At the time I was going have the bypass but changed my mind. I met with Dr. Arnold in July and he said he didn't do the lapband yet and recommended Dr. Kuhn. I have since met him and really like him. My surgery is scheduled for Nov. 8th!!! I'm so excited. Thanks for your reply to my post.

I had the surgery yesterday March 3. Obviously, I can't give you results at this point, but as to the surgery which I had at Park Central Surgical center, I was very happy with the professionalism of Dr. Kuhn. I feel he takes his responsibilities very seriously and is very much up to date on historical results. My personal feeling is that after yo-yo-ing up and down in weight programs, I've never been able to keep it down. Now, I am committed to changing my lifestyle, and coupled with the lap band, losing about 80 pounds. To be successful I think you need both plus exercise, which is part of my lifestyle plan change. Bottom line, Dr. Kuhn is professional, knowledgeable and very caring for his patients. Hope this helps!

Hey, Billb,

Did your health insurance pay for this, or did you have to come up with the money?

Do you mind if I ask...how much?

(I'm in the area, and I"m looking for a good doctor at an affordable price)

Check out Dr. David Kim in Colleyville. His cash price is $10,500 and includes all fills and adjustments for one year. The fills are done by his Physicians assistant who is also a registered dietitian. Bariatric Weight Loss LAP-BAND System Gastric Bypass Surgery Arlington Dallas Fort Worth (Ft. Worth) Texas (TX)

Yes I did. I also work for him. He is wonderful and so is our staff. He will be doing surgery at Forest Park Medical Center in Dallas when it opens and if you live over that way and prefer to have your fills done at Forest Park instead of driving to Colleyville then the price would decrease to $9950. That included 6 fills , 3 with fluoro and 3 without for 1 year. The $10,500 price includes unlimited fills and aadjustments at our office for one year.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
