Hi, I was just wondering if anybody has used Dr. Frank Veninga of Carrollton, Texas as their surgeon? I am scheduled to meet him this week for my surgery consultation. I just wanted any feedback if anyone has been to him. Thanks!:(

Shelley,

Good luck and congrats on your decision to get healthier. I used Dr Nicholson in Plano but I have heard that Dr. Veniga is good. I used to work with a girl that used him and she was very happy. Feel free to message me if I can help since we are both metroplexers. I was banded on 12-11-08 and just had my first fill.

Thanks! I just wanted some feedback on him. I chose him because of his location, but I want to make sure that I am not compromising care for convenience! Congratulations to you! You are newly banded and on your way to being happy and healthy! I am hoping to schedule my surgery for late February/early March. Thanks again!

Everything went great! I had my surgey on 2/25/09 with no complications. Dr. Veninga's office is great to work with. I had my first fill yesterday and am ready to start losing again. I lost 17 pounds preop/postop, then stalled out for the last 4 weeks. Having the fill should get me back on the road to losing!

I am so glad for you. My surgery is set for next Friday with Dr. Castro. I read many good things about him and I'll meet him Wednesday. I am sooo nervous/excited.

Hi! I'm getting ready to have the "sleeve" in august by Dr. Veninga. How was your surgery and did Dr. Veninga do a good job. Where there any complications and how do you feel today? Did the surgery take long? Please tell me any thing to help ease my mind that I am doing the right thing.

Thanks!

I think you will like Dr. Veninga. He is an excellent surgeon. I am almost 1 1/2 years out from my lapband surgery. His office is very friendly. He is a bit quirky, but overall very good. I wish you the best of luck with your sleeve!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
