Dr. Godat in Dallas



Recommended Posts

So I've finally reached the point that I've lost enough (145 lbs.) to start thinking about plastic surgery and I've decided to go with Dr. Godat at Medical City in Dallas. Is anyone familiar with him? I've had my first consult with him and feel confident with him, I just thought a few more opinions wouldn't hurt!

Also, I'm scheduled for a TT and brachioplasty with Lipo on my chin. Does anybody have some arm lift photos I could take a look at? I know the scarring is terrible, but I figure it's better than being able to jump off a building and take flight with my batwings.

My surgery isn't until July 20, but I want to see as many examples and learn as much as I can between now and then so I don't have any false expectations. I'm not so concerned with the TT or chin, but I want my arms to look as normal as possible!

Thanks for any input!

I too am almost to the point of getting a Tummy Tuck. I'm looking more toward a date in early March. I live in the Dallas area. I'm having a hard time finding a good doctor. If you could keep me posted I would love to know how it works out for you. Thanks so much!

donnahauus........The nurses on every shift at the hospital really were praising Dr. Todd Pollock and Dr. Harlan Pollock (father/son) - they are affiliated with Presbyterian. My PS was at Tx Inst. of Surgery on Greenvile......a wonderful experience as far as hospitals go. Todd's office is in Allen; Harlen's is in Dallas on Walnut Hill. I posted about my experience so far elsewhere in this forum if you'd like to read it.

      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.
