Dr. Robert Snow - Dr. Snow is a great doctor and surgeon!!



Recommended Posts

I thought I would post about my experience with Dr. Snow. I was banded on Jan. 15, 2010. He did the Single Incision surgery. So I had only one incision about 2 inches long in my belly button and one small incision (less than 1cm) where they put the liver retractor. He puts mesh on the back of the port so there is less chance of port flipping and less pain on recovery. I did not have any port pain and very little incision pain. Lots of gas pain, but I hear this from lots of banded people. He is so encouraging on my check up visits. He answered all of my questions before surgery while I was making my decision and all of my questions since.

I was nervous about the surgery, but he really quieted most of my fears. The ones I had left were just being scared of the anesthesia.

I would recommend him to anyone in my family who wants to have this surgery!!

Where is he located?

He's in Hurst, Texas. He's in the Surgery Center on Precint Line Road just a few blocks from 183.

He just banded me on 7/26 and I couldn't agree more! He's an excellent personable doctor.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
