Presbyterian Dallas

[Khloé 89]

Anyone had their vsg at Presbyterian in Dallas, Texas? If so, what was your experience?

I figured I would be sleeved at Forest Park, but it turns out that my insurance has a stipulation that requires I have my surgery at a bariatric center of excellence (or something like that), so Presby it is.

Sorry, no - my band was done at Baylor Dallas on 12/21/10 and my sleeve was done at Baylor Carrollton on 12/28/12. Doesn't Dr Nick use Baylor Plano?

Yes, and Forest Park, but my insurance has a stipulation that my surgery has to be performed at a bariatric center of excellence and Presbyterian has that, whereas the others do not.

I've had two surgeries at Presby.

The nurses are so great! I felt it was the best care I've had at any hospital.

I was sleeved at Forest Park and I've also had surgeries at Baylor and UTSW

Presby was by far the best!

You will have great care

My insurance (BCBS) had the same requirement all three are centers of excellence. It might be the surgeons preference. In fact, I had asked that my band surgery be at Baylor Carrollton. The surgeon's office told me it had to be at Baylor Dallas for the same reason you were told. Later I found out Baylor Carrollton had the same 'rating' as Baylor Dallas. When I asked about it after surgery (because I didn't know any better) they said we never said that. Sure they did, but the surgeon was scheduling his surgeries at Baylor Dallas that particular day/week/month. For my sleeve surgery I demanded Baylor Carrollton and got it. Baylor Carrollton and Baylor Dallas were good experiences; however Carrollton was better.
