DFW docs that do the One Incision Procedure?



Recommended Posts

I saw the post on the main board about there finally being an LB procedure that only required one incision instead of multiple (4-6). Has anyone is the DFW area had a doc that did or will do the one incision procedure. It was done for the first time at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas... just wondering who the lucky person was, LOL! :)

Yes, I know who the Dr is that does the 1 incision lap band procedure. I met him last week, I have chosen him to be my surgeon. He said I am a perfect candidate for this surgery. His name is Dr. Daniel Scott. He told me that he has succesfully completed 12 of the "one incision" lap band procedures since June of this year and chanel 8 news interviewed him the same day of my appointment, it is to air in the near future. He is very nice and has a good bed side manor. He is easy to talk to and answered all my questions. He is at UT Southwestern medical center in Dallas 214-645-2900. Good luck to you.

      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.
