Hi. I had surgery w Terry Scarborough w TLC Surgery. Surgery was great but aftercare not so great. Most everyone I know loves Robert Davis or Garth Davis in Houston. Bigger clinic w all the aftercare you might want.

Who is your surgery with?

I am from Houston and having surgery with Dr. Nowzaradan.

I had surgery on Sept. 13th with Dr. Yu at TLC Surgery. They were the "pioneers" of performing this surgery through your belly button. I just have one small line to the left of mine and I'm sure it will go away after a while. They have a page on Facebook. Once a month or so you can talk "live" with their nutritionists and ask questions. The office staff isn't that great. Stephanie has messed up my appointment times twice. The other receptionist (I forget her name) sounds like you're bothering her when you call. But I do like Lashon (worked fast on getting my insurance approval) and Gracie (Dr. Yu's nurse, also filed all my short term disability paperwork quickly.) Overall, I'm glad I went there. I am very pleased with my surgery results so far.

I had my surgery with Dr. Alanis on 09/20/10. I have no complaints. He is a great doctor with a great bedside manner. After care has been terrific.

Do any of you go to support groups?

I would love to meet with fellow VSG. I live by BayArea Blvd. in Webster. Anyone around my area that would like to meet? or know of a meeting?

My doctor's office and the hospital I am having surgery at (University General) have support groups. Maybe after I have surgery in December we can see if we can get all the Houston and surrounding area sleevers together. That would be fun!

I would love to get together sometime.

I had my surgery with Dr. Spivak at ParkPlaza Hospital. They have no support group that is why I'm looking for fellow sleevers to meet and greet.

I would love to get together sometime.

Do you attend a support group? Or do you know of a support group in the area? I'm near BayArea Mall in Webster are you near by?

We can always start our own group. We just need to think of somewhere that is centrally located. I bet if we make a post on the main page (tell your story) we will get more of the Houston area sleevers to respond. I live in Northwest Houston.

I live in the Clear Lake Area (League City actually) and I think my doctor said there was a group down here. I have not started that part yet but, I can definately see where it would be beneficial. I don't know what I would do without this website. It has helped me so much.

I used Dr. Erick Wilson at UT Physicians in Bellaire. They have been great. I was a little concerned because before surgery it would take days to get a call back but, since surgery I have called twice and they call me right back. I have absolutely no complaints and I LOVE Dr. Wilson. He has a great personality, he looks at you when he speaks, always asks if he has answered all of your questions and even though there is no doubt he is super busy, he does not make you feel like he can't wait to leave the room. I would recommend them to anyone.

It would be great to have a group that meets in the Clear Lake area if there isn't already one.

I live in Beaumont but I'm using Dr. Chung out of Lake Charles, LA.. He was recommended by a friend that had her surgery last year, and he is such a wonderful doctor. I have many friends in the area and constantly meeting new people that have had there surgery already. They are my support through it all. I am getting sleeved on December 21st!!! Hubby is starting is Supervised 6 month Diet in January hoping to get sleeved late summer early fall...

Maybe sometime after the crazy holidays, we could set up a lunch date. It would be fun to make new friends and have someone who knows what you are going through.

I am in East Houston. Dr. Dexter Turnquest performed my surgery at The Woodlands Memorial Hermann. I would love to be a part of a support group. Maybe we could meet quarterly and each of us could plan a meeting?
