Im in Grand Prairie too. I had my surgery about 15 months ago with Dr Castro in Duncanville. You might want to check him out. His staff works really hard with insurance problems.

Opinions needed. I am deciding between dr Manual Castro in Duncanville ( Methodist Dallas) or dr Davidson (Presbyterian Dallas). Please vote and share why you would choose which.

Well i used Dr.Davidson at Presbyterian.I've lost 184lbs in one year exactly to the day.He is a great Dr. and will be straight forward with you.On the day of the surgery i was laying in the bed waiting to have my sleeve done i started getting nervous, well he walked in with his operating clothes on and asked if i was ready and then asked me if i would mind if he said a prayer! That eased my mind and i knew he was going to take great care of me!

My insurance was approved. I have my surgery on March 11 with Dr. David Kim.

Change of plans surgery date is now April 9th. Does anyone know where the trophy club is at? That's where I'm having my surgery at.

      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.
