I would like to have thoughts on Dr. Robert Marvin in the Houston area. His office approved my insurance for the sleeve but I have heard Dr. Sherman Yu is excellent! If anyone in the Houston area has used Dr. Marvin I would appreciate your thoughts and also on Dr. Yu. I want a very skilled surgeon but I want someone that's willing to answer questions and is available to me after the surgery. I know Dr. Yu is a bariatric as well as general surgeon. From what I'm finding Dr. Marvin is bariatric surgery only. Okay Htown I really need to hear from you. I have my first visit with Dr. Marvin next week.

I do not have a date yet for my surgery. I have a trip to Mexico planned with my hubby and we will be there 5 days. If my surgery gets scheduled before my trip it will be less than a month out. Should I wait until I get back to schedule my surgery? We will be back the first week in May and I think that would be the wise thing to do. Im anxious and scared, but I want to get the surgery over with. Haven't told my husband I was approved for the surgery with insurance. He has no idea I am thinking about doing this. The surgeon was highly recommended by 2 other people that got the sleeve and one got the bypass same surgeon. I'll wait until all the tests are done and I've met my surgeon before sharing with my husband. Turning 60 in Sept. and one of my kids getting married in Nov. Over the past 37 years of marriage my husband has seen my weight waiver between 115 lbs and 190 lbs. I want 60 to be my healthiest birthday and my goal of 120 lbs for my 5'1" frame. Hoping he'll support my decision.
