Recommended Posts

Hi, I was just wondering if anybody has used Dr. Frank Veninga of Carrollton, Texas as their surgeon? I am scheduled to meet him this week for my surgery consultation. I just wanted any feedback if anyone has been to him. Thanks!:(

Shelley,

Good luck and congrats on your decision to get healthier. I used Dr Nicholson in Plano but I have heard that Dr. Veniga is good. I used to work with a girl that used him and she was very happy. Feel free to message me if I can help since we are both metroplexers. I was banded on 12-11-08 and just had my first fill.

Thanks! I just wanted some feedback on him. I chose him because of his location, but I want to make sure that I am not compromising care for convenience! Congratulations to you! You are newly banded and on your way to being happy and healthy! I am hoping to schedule my surgery for late February/early March. Thanks again!

Everything went great! I had my surgey on 2/25/09 with no complications. Dr. Veninga's office is great to work with. I had my first fill yesterday and am ready to start losing again. I lost 17 pounds preop/postop, then stalled out for the last 4 weeks. Having the fill should get me back on the road to losing!

I am so glad for you. My surgery is set for next Friday with Dr. Castro. I read many good things about him and I'll meet him Wednesday. I am sooo nervous/excited.

Hi! I'm getting ready to have the "sleeve" in august by Dr. Veninga. How was your surgery and did Dr. Veninga do a good job. Where there any complications and how do you feel today? Did the surgery take long? Please tell me any thing to help ease my mind that I am doing the right thing.

Thanks!

I think you will like Dr. Veninga. He is an excellent surgeon. I am almost 1 1/2 years out from my lapband surgery. His office is very friendly. He is a bit quirky, but overall very good. I wish you the best of luck with your sleeve!

      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?

      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! 😞
