    Anyone in Dallas/Ft Worth use Dr Alibhai or Dr Matin for their DS? If not who did u use in Texas?

    I am in DFW - and not a name I have ever heard. Your best bet for Texas - Dr Ayoola in Denton. Anyone else you use will probably sell you a bill of goods

My BMI was 41, I was approved on the first shot...

    Reversal of DS intestinal switch? Anyone?

    Just putting this out there - Several of Dr. Stewart's former patients and Dr. Ayoola's patients have found that their "Dr Stewart Multi" Is not enough. Have you considered switching multi and adding more vits to your daily list? Creon? Have you tried this? Dr. A is good, but again, he is...

    <removing the person's name> November 3, 2014 ]<patient> Just thought I would share with you I did only get the sleeve and not the DS with Dr Kim. From my first appt I talked about a hernia and actually showed them where it was located was assured it would not be a problem. Well on surgery day...

    Kim Bariatric Institute - Dr David Kim, Colleyville, TX

    dr Kim should lose his license over this, and his "staff" that were there, too. Pure negligence, 100% His trolls - now they are saying he has done over 75 DSs and every surgery has to start somewhere. REALLY? this guy almost died and lost his legs and you are defending the moron? I got a...

    Kim Bariatric Institute - Dr David Kim, Colleyville, TX

    I only know what I hear from his patients. I know a few of them. One he promised DS and she came out with sleeve only. That was Thanksgiving 2013, and said he hadn't done a DS yet..... More on FB - one posted the other day, her CC is 300 (red flag for me, the 300's I have read about are not...

    I think EN is the bomb-dickity! I must have missed the post in question. But I did comment on Sharon's post - I'm glad she brought it up, it is like an elephant in the room! Who (let me guess) deleted their post this time? The chick who has like 4 profiles, she creates a new one each time she...

    Kim Bariatric Institute - Dr David Kim, Colleyville, TX

    Thank you, Diana! There are people asking quite often about Dr. Kim and last I heard, he had done 11 DSs and all have been this calendar year. More than not, people are going in for DS and not getting it :( One is on DS Patients FB page now asking about Dr. Kim because he is listed on...

    Kim Bariatric Institute - Dr David Kim, Colleyville, TX

    I know several of Dr. Kim's patients and they DO NOT have this same rainbows and unicorns opinion of him or his staff at all. I have several friends (real, not facebook friends) who have used him and they would literally laugh at these post. All of their responses are he is rude, not...

    Hi all my latest update. DX with C-diff on 3/30/2014> I just finished a 10 day round of Dificid. My ID dr was waiting hoping the Vancomycin would do the trick, but we had to go to the big(ger) guns! It made me so nauseous, headache, diarrhea worse, just ick! But I stuck it out...... It got...

    and the (freakin') saga continues! Went back yesterday to my ID dr. Not getting better, but not worse. Monday was suppose to be my first day on 1 Vanco every 24 hours, took it at 7 am; Dr appt at 1:00. She started me back on 4 a day, then taper to every 8 hours after 2-3 weeks, then taper...

    Yes, went back to the ID dr on Monday, she requested another stool sample (that is disgusting!). She wants to see if I am still testing positive. If so, she will start Dificid along with the Vanco. I go back on Monday but I got my results today via the LabCorp patient site, C-diff negative...

    Oh trust me, I will try anything at this point. It is hard to describe just how sick I have been. Protein / album level was a tad under 3 due to me being so un-godly sick. I am working on getting it back up. I was on IV from Sunday until I went home Saturday - my electrolyte levels were not...

    we spent about $300 at Costco on Clorox cleaning supplies on Saturday - my house smells like bleach! I'll look at the steam cleaner, thanks for that info! I'm washing my sheets and white towels (I think I have 3-4) daily. What a pain! but it's something I need to do....

    I am petrified to take another antibiotic at this point! I know with the DIEP flap I will be on something for 5 days as preventative. At this point, I'm ready to say no more boobies! For now, I'm on Vanco every 6 hours (7 am/pm and 1 am/pm) for 2 weeks, then go to every 8 hours for 1-2 weeks...
