This guy is a jerk!

http://www.bmioftexas.com/ These guys are the best. Very good background, training, experience, staff, etc. These ain't no rookies! I had a small complication and was very thankful Dr. Duperier was the surgeon. I live in Corpus Christi about 2 hr drive from San Antonio. Worth more than the drive!

Sounds like you may be a special case, but double check with your Doc. I am 1 wk clear, 2 weeks shakes and cream soup, 2 week soft food. Week 6 begins the new normal --Hi protein/low carb/low volume. Soft foods are scrambled eggs, baked salmon, chick salad, low fat cheese. This program is from these guys --http://www.bmioftexas.com/. They have been doing Bariatric surgery for 7-8 years. These guys are GOOD.

Just got sleeved by Dr Duperier on Jan 28 and he was great. He discussed the procedure afterwards. Mine operation was a little more difficult he said because my stomach was higher in my abdominal cavity. This caused a few geometry problems getting to the stomach with the tools. That's why you want someone with a lot of experience and not someone who is doing his training on you. Dr. D is the very good. The staff at Methodist Specialty and Transplant was great also. Dr SHankar Sanka was the MD calling the shots on meds for my bloood presssure, blood sugar, etc. He was great also. Very down-to-earth, not condescending, just a great guy!
