Hi everyone... I've been thinking about the gastric sleeve surgery for a while and I've spoken to a couple if friends about it... I was hoping to get some more feedback and information as I move forward.

I live in Garland, and found an amazing surgeon...Dr. Todd McCarty at McCarty Weight Loss Center in Dallas. He does the sleeve with a minimally invasive method that requires only 2 incisions and has less recovery time. His office staff is very responsive and supportive as well. Very impressed so far! I’m still in the pre op stage, but had at least 3 separate people on here who had the sleeve done by him and said they had a great experience! [emoji4]

Thank you for the info! Which insurance do you have?

I have Medicare because I’m currently on disability. The office folks are really helpful with getting your insurance requirements met.

Oh great! Thank you so much!

Dr Nicholson at the Nicholson clinic. Self pay- $10k for everything pre op, post op for a year and the actual surgery,

I’m from NJ but I just had the sleeve done in Dallas by Dr Dirk Rodriguez. Glad to answer any questions.

Dr Bagshahi - his office is attached to Harris Methodist downtown. I didn’t need my family doctor to approve a thing. Bagshahi’s Office does it all

How did you like him and his staff? I have my first appt with him next week.

I really like them. He explained all the options very well and did not try to talk me into anything. It’s a busy office but they always speak to me right away or call back super quick if I have a question. He operates there at Harris and also at Plano surgical center (depending on who is in network for your insurance)

That’s good to hear. I’m going to the location in Fort Worth. I want to do RNY, but also have hernias and I saw that he specializes in both types of surgeries. Plus my insurance will cover the hernia surgery and most likely pay out of pocket for the bariatric surgery. Hope everything goes well for you!

He’s doing my sleeve + hernia repair at the same time on Thursday!

Oh wow! That’s awesome! I’d love to know how it goes! Please keep me posted!

Ok great! Thanks for the info. How long ago did you have yours done?

So far so good... It’s steady coming off, I have stuck to the high protein/low carb, or shall I say no carb diet... lol

That's awesome!!! Yeah I'm scared of the no carb diet!
