Thanks Rosieib!!! I am glad you had a good experience? Where are you support group meetings held?

I just had Dr. Cavazos due my sleeve on Wednesday at NE Baptist. I was happy with him until the day of my surgery. I did not get to see him before surgery. And afterwards, Dr. Gonzales ( his partner), I had helped with my surgery. Dr. Cavazos could not answer some personal questions after my surgery... Like if I had a hiatal hernia.... Or if I had stomach ulcers. I was a little upset about that.. I also stayed a few extra days due to some bleeding ( blood count dropped a few times). Cavazos also seemed to wait until my release day to mention Thirds spacing. And that explained why I gained 25 lbs after surgery and had some bleeding. I wish we could have been notified prior to that emotional roller coaster. I'm just scared that I may have chose the wrong doctor. My stay at the hospital was weird too. The bariatric floor was closed so I had to stay with the People who had hip replacements. Then I got moved to Oncology the next few days. My bathroom/shower was not bariatric sized and was difficult to use after surgery. I am thinking about transferring my stuff over to Dr. McDaniel from better life bariatrics in Victoria. I hope not every one had this experience... Wish mine could have been better.... PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE HAD ANY COMPLICATIONS AFTER HAVING A SURGERY FROM DR. RAMIRO SONNY CAVAZOS OR HIS PARTNER DR. GONZALES, whom I don't know his first name. Thankyou!!

My sleeve was done on Wednesday... 6-13-12... I too have spasms when I'm drinking water. It is sorta painful. I am feeling very tired and it's four days after surgery... I hope I am not getting dehydrated....

Hello y'all!! I'm Kristin from Calallen and I am scheduled for my Sleeve next week June 13, 2012. I have chosen Dr. Ramiro Cavazos out of San Antonio's Texas bariatric specialist. He also has done a fellowship study for bariatrics. So I feel confident in him to treat me right! I would love to meet some people for moral support and a possible work out buddy. Would be great to have monthly group meetings as well if we can find enough people! Good luck to everyone on this amazing journey and God bless!!
