Need Dallas area revision-friendly recommendations



Recommended Posts

The better half wants a sleeve revision, and my doc is just to expensive in full self-pay mode. Any recommendations? We don't want to head to Mexico

Thanks

Dr. Wade Barker and Dr. David Kim both in DFW along with Dr. Nick (he was the priciest out of the 3) when I was researching self-pay in Texas if I could not have had it done here in Florida with insurance.

Dr. Barker was my surgeon and I was pleased with him. He has a very busy office by White Rock Lake. If you do a consult with him, take a book or something. You will be there a while....

You might also check out Dr. Jay from the Dallas Bariatric Center. www.dallasbariatriccenter.com

He has done some of the more complicated revisions. What is your husband wanting a revision from?

I am using Dr. Steven Hamn in Plano. He is part of a Center of Excellence and so far I am very well pleased. My surgery is planned for June 6th.

Good luck and at least check him out.

I know Dr. Hamm and Dr. Crebbins won't do revisions on someone else's work. A co worker who is having trouble with her band called them and they won't touch her. I think it is unfortunate but that is just my opinion.

      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.
