Looking for Texas Sleevers???



Recommended Posts

I wanted Dr. Spiegel or Dr. Spivak to do my sleeve. I can not afford it so I'm looking into dr. Aceeves. The prices is better for me.

Hi, I have been hanging out in the background for quite a while now. I have learned a lot and I thank everyone here for that. I am getting sleeved April 9th by Dr. Alvarez.

I'm new as well and in Austin. I went for my consultation with Dr. Hadar Spivak in Houston this past Saturday (March 20th). I went in with the idea in my head that I was getting the lapband. I had done research but only on the lapband, not on the gastric sleeve. Once I found out about it my thought was "I am so THERE!".

Hey fellow Texans

Hiya doing? I am in the Dallas Area and still un-Sleeved. I have health problems that causes me to be unable to do the LB and GB. I can only do the Sleeve, but Medicare won't pay for the Sleeve. So I'm between a rock and a hard place because I want this Surgery as bad as I need it. I have several co-morbidities that will go into remission with this surgery. How can a country who gives free health knocking the foreigners, I just want my piece of the pie. I may have to go to the media but I know would prefer not to. I am going to file a grievance.

I am always looking to see who is posting from Texas or even the Houston area. I live in Jersey Village/NW Harris County. However I work in Splendora (in East Montgomery County), just a few miles east of you. I was sleeved in Cypress. Congrats on your loss so far. You seem to be on the right track. This site is extremely helpful whenever you hit bumps along the way. It both encouraging and informative.

Much Success!:)

I'm un-sleeved and haven't even chosen a doctor yet, but I'm here with you guys.

I used to work in Splendora years ago myself - back in the early '80's. Small world!

Hi! I am unsleeved and live near Katy. I have my first appt with Dr. Waggoner this week. Hopefully I will get a time line on how long it will take to get a date. If anyone has used him, I would love to hear your experience.

Thanks

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
