I love my bariatric surgeon, Dr Colleen Kennedy. Her staff is great. She has 3 locations but the Baylor Dallas location is closet to Irving (also in Plano and Rockwall). I highly recommend her. PM me if you have questions

I went to the Nicholson Clinic. They were great and I had a great experience. I am 10 months out and doing well. Dr. Nick did my surgery.

I had my sleeve performed by Dr. Clayton Frenzel at the Plano Surgical Hospital.

I can't say much about his office staff as they seem lacking in general skills such as taking messages, answering voicemail, etc., however his surgical skills must to be great as I have had no complications whatsoever and I am quite happy with the results

I am currently going to Kim Bariatrics in Frisco. I am using Dr. Le. She seems great and I have researched alot and like what I hear about her and the entire team there.

Dr. David Kim at Kim Bariatrics was my surgeon. Not only is he an amazing surgeon but his office staff is amazing. He has an office in Frisco and Colleyville. It is definitely worth going for the free consult.

Like ironpoorer mentioned Dr. Frenzel is good (he is the surgeon I started out with) but switched due to his inadequate staff.

I'm very happy with my final decision!

Dr Kim at Kim Bariatrics is great! He did my surgery 4 years ago and I am still involved in the support system they have there. You will get support for life at KBI. Monthly support groups, FREE bootcamps for their patients, FREE U Jam classes, Cruises, Hiking events, etc and the private patient only FB support group does monthly Breakfast and dinner get togethers, monthly 5ks, and lots of fun events like bowling, painting, ziplining in DAllas, dancing, toller skating, karaoke nights and lost more!! That is what has helped me be successful in my 90 lbs loss. The office has always been very helpful to me throughout my journey. Dr Kim did my sleeve and two years later Dr Holden took out my gallbladder. All docs on his staff are GREAT! Good luck in your weight loss journey.

I used the Nicholson Clinic, too. Dr. Thomas Roshek did my sleeve. I chose him specifically after a long search. My GI actually referred me to the Nicholson Clinic. He (the GI) said he would recommend anyone in that office. Good luck!

Dr. Kim at Kim Bariatric Institute did my sleeve a year and a half ago. He and his office staff were terrific. My insurance required 6 months of nutrition classes before they would approve the surgery and I learned a lot about making the right choices and lost nearly 30 lbs before surgery. After Surgery the on-line support group was there along with Nurse Pam at the office to answer all my questions (even the stupid ones) I'm down another 150lbs since surgery and could not be happier. I highly recommend them.

I had my sleeve done this morning at UT Southwestern - Dr Sarah Hennessy. Man the new hospital at UTSW is nice. Only one year old. Everyone is so nice and so far I've been ok with pain.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
