Hi! Good to see you here! As you already know, I've never heard of these surgeons, but maybe someone else has, or has another suggestion for a DS surgeon in TX.

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 secondary insurance didn’t even cover my DS. But my primary did.

Yes, mine too!!

So if your primary has Dr. A in network, go to him.

But I can’t afford the part I have to pay since he doesn’t take my secondary insurance. I have found a surgeon that takes both and I won’t pay anything

Yes BUT is it for the surgery you want? Or just the surgery THEY are willing to do?

Just make sure it's the real thing!

Gigi,

I've read several of your posts and I really don't think that right now you're a good candidate for EITHER surgery!

No offense, but you really don't have enough GOOD information. AND either surgery demands vitamin and mineral supplementation and those things aren't free...and...if you are in a place where $1000 is impossible to find, you might be tempted to skip needed supplements.

(Also, those screenshots were probably NOT "a government article." They are probably scholarly articles posted on a government website. Big Difference.)

Any weight loss surgery requires yearly blood work for life, lots of vitamins NOT covered by insurance, and protein first. If your finances are precarious, wait until you are in better financial shape. Weight loss surgery is not cheap to maintain for life.
