Surgery on the 24th of April in Texas....anyone else



Recommended Posts

I'm having surgery on the 24th of April in Dallas, my surgeon is Dr. Kim. I'm very excited and can't seem to wait for the 24th to get here. Anyone else out there same day same surgeon?

I'm 5 days into my preop diet...he requires 2 weeks of Optifast. I'm sailing through it with no problems so far. I really don't miss "Pepsi" yet which is all I drank and feared giving up the most. I have moved to Crystal light and have been enjoying the change. The only thing I have missed was having warm foods, I got some of the Soup and haven't looked back.

Seems like it should be harder......

You will have your share of challenges, so don't wish for them too soon! LOL I'm so glad to hear that you are adjusting well so far regarding your pre-op diet! Keep up the good work and do it for life!

BTW...you are being banded on the absolute BEST day of the year! And in the BEST place there is!

(I live in DFW, too...and my birthday is April 24th! :biggrin: LOL)

I have my surgery on the 25th here in Dallas, but my doc is Dr Davidson...

I'm getting excited and nervous both. My hubby had his done on March 14, so I'm wanting to catch up to him, lol! (his first fill is on the day of my surgery)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
