Dr. Frenzel Arlington/Dallas



Recommended Posts

I was originally going to use Dr. Frenzel. He did my EGD and I was very impressed with him as a surgeon but unfortunately his office staff was not up to par!

I went with another surgeon (Dr. David Kim) and it was the best decision of my life. Not only is he a wonderful surgeon but his office staff and post-op support group is amazing! Wouldn't trade my decision for a million bucks!!

My surgery is scheduled with him on December 7, 2015. I switched over from Dr. Kim after many hours of research.. I have nothing but great things to say so far about Frenzel and staff! They are on top of it all!

Has anyone used Dr. frenzel recently?? I am considering having the sleeve done and would like to hear from others that have used him!

Dr. Frenzel will be doing my sleeve on 12/28; so far he and his staff have been fine. I saw him originally ib Texarkana, then had the EGD in Plano with no complaints. Had my pre-op visit in Texarkana on Saturday and am cleared for surgery. Fingers crossed!

You will do great, I ended up having mine 11/23 with him. One thing I particularly like is that a doctor answers the phone on weekends for post op patients! I have lost 33.5 lbs since 11/09 so no complaints here!!

I used dr victor Gonzalez. He is outstanding! His staff is outstanding. He is very thorough and conservative. I have not had one issue. I have never been nauseated one time. He really cares about his patients. I was on the phone 30 min today with his nurse.

      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.
