Dallas sleevers- Forest Park or Baylor Trophy Club?



Recommended Posts

I live in Grand Prairie and I've been seeing Dr. Kim for a band to sleeve revision. He does surgery at both hospitals so I would love to hear feedback on your experiences. Both hospitals are a drive for me so its not a matter of which is most convenient, although I work just down 75 from FP so I know my way around that area better.

I had my EGD at FP today and every nurse and doctor I saw was so exceptionally friendly and made me feel so comfortable. I had been thinking I would go to Baylor for surgery but now I'm not so sure..lol!!

I know nothing about the Baylor facility, I'm sure it's nice, but I do know about Forest Park, it was wonderful. I tell people that it was like the Ritz Carlton of hospitals.

Small private facility, very good care, nurses are very attentive. I have no complaints at all from start to finish....on top of the personel, it's a beautiful hospital.

I had mine done at Baylor Trophy Club and it is just as the poster above said Foest Park was, small, private facility, nurses were very attentive, everyone was top-notch and very nice not only to me but to my mom and husband too! They had almost gourmet meals for my family that was there with me and I think there were only like three other people on my floor the night I was there after surgery.

I don't think you can go wrong picking either hospital, or Dr. Kim for that matter! I'm 5 months out and after reading on VST, Dr. Kim and his staff seem to prepare us very well and give us lots of information to be successful!

I had my surgery at Forest Park, and it was very nice! I ended up with a VIP room that included a separate suite with a TV and couch/bed so my family could stay occupied while I rested. I slept all night both nights unless they were taking vitals every 2-4 hrs. Nurses were decent- some more attentive than others.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
