Any Texas Gastric Sleeve Buddies?



Recommended Posts

I loved Dr Kuhn & George. I have had multiple abdominal surgeries & I saw eight surgeons in the DFW area. (Kim, Idhe, Barker, Veninga, Roy, Alexander, Benevinedes, and Kuhn). This was a two year journey for me. Band, By-Pass, or Sleeve and could it be done laproscopically. Dr Kuhn was the only one who would even try to do it that way, which saved me $10K and a week in the hospital.

He is the most experienced surgeon in DFW. He pioneered band to sleeve revision. I can't say enough good things.

Medical City is great also.

I had a very positive experience.

Can I join in? I'm in Houston (Humble/Atascocita area) and planned to be sleeved this summer by Dr. Richard Collier in The Woodlands/Conroe. Have to wait to see if some job interview work out before setting a date.

Anyone use Dr. Collier? Most of the Houstonians didn't say who their surgeon was.

I am in Houston - NW in Cyfair.

My doc was Ata Ahmad...I wouldnt recommend him but he wasn't bad - just not as good as I expected.

I was sleeved 1/4/12 and hit Onderland yesterday. Would love walking buddies, even if only occasionally!

What day? My sister and I are going to Dr. Alvarez June 1. We are looking for people that might be there at that time. She is having the surgery and I am just going to comfort her. I had mine 8.5 months ago.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
