DFW patients?

[typin56mom 4]

I have just gotten approval for ma surgery pending fulfilling requirements for Aetna. Anyone out there from north Dallas area having or had the sleeve? Would like to hear from some local patients. I will have surgery March or April with Dr Nick.

Congrats on your approval! I hope and expect that all will go beautifully for you from here!

I will be interested to see what everyone has to say. I am just starting to look into revising from LapBand to sleeve. If my doc did revisions to sleeve, I would definitely be going back to him...I LOVE ME SOME DR. MARSDEN! But alas, he does not...so I am on the hunt for a sleeve doc in DFW.

I live in North Dallas, and was sleeved by Jeffrey Henke, MD in November. I never had the band, so can't speak to a revision specifically, but Dr Henke is WONderful. He and his partner Joseph Kuhn, MD, have offices at Medical City Dallas and at Baylor.

I am in Plano and will be getting sleeved on Dec. 31 - Dr. Cribbins. My sister had her surgery with him 3 years ago and was very pleased.

There are loads of DFWers here, me included! If you haven't already, I highly suggest you start visiting the many support groups in this area: http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/259587-dfw-area-weight-loss-surgery-support-groups-list/
