I am in Texas and my doctor is Clayton Frenzel and I had my surgery on April 16. My scars look great and he seems to be a great surgeon. He is also a plastic surgeon.

I had surgery at Texas General in Grand Prairie, TX. I was treated so poorly that I regretted having the surgery. I am very sensitive to medicine and it takes me a minute to get my barrings and wake completely up.

The entire nursing staff where Africans and were so mean to me. What I mean is that they pulled my IV's to get me up, they wanted to argue with me with I asked why have I had this oxygen tube in my nose and no air for 1 1/2 days. The nurse said, don't worry you can breath. If you weren't breathing I would know. Then why have the tube in my nose and no oxygen. I could have needed it. My dear sweet mom kept saying, why you have your mouth open, when you have oxygen. I kept trying to close my mouth, but I couldn't breath and didn't know why. Can you help me to the bathroom? I have never been treated like this at any hospital. They would let the blood pressure monitor run and run on my arm. I asked them to take off the monitor and was told. Oh, I need to check the blood pressure and write it down this time.

I forget to tell you that when they first entered my room. Two nurses SCREAMED GET UP. I was just out of surgery. I jumped, my mom jumped. Then my mom, told them how she felt about how they entered the room.

I met black and white women who had the surgery in the radiology area before our leak test and a white lady said she tried to check out the night of surgery, but they would not let her. Everyone had the same experience.

I have never been treated so poorly in my entire life. I am so thankful to God that my mom was there to speak up for me. They had to be reminded each time to turn on my booths to keep blood clots out of my legs and body.

My sister is suppose to use Dr. Frenzel, but she will not go to Texas General in Grand Prairie, TX.

Be warned and Beware. We are not writing the hospital due the lack of care.

      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.
