Need a doctor in Houston!



Recommended Posts

I thought I had a doctor to do the follow-up for me, but turns out he doesn't know very much about the sleeve at all. He doesn't know what to check etc.

I've been running a low grade fever off and on and want to find a doctor in Houston Texas that will take me as a patient.

I called Dr. Wilkenfeld (in Conroe), where I had been twice before for "consultation" for WLS - and my insurance wouldn't pay. Now that I did "self-pay" in Mexico, he won't do the follow-up.

Does anyone know of a doctor in Houston that I can use for the follow-up? I REALLY need to find someone because I'm not feeling very good.

Okay... having a bit of a pity party (tears and all) and trying to hide it. I just want a doctor to check me and let me know if I am okay or if I need some adjusting!

Will the Davis Clinic see you? They do bariatrics exclusively. If they won't, ask if there is someone they could refer you to.

Davis Clinic was VERY nice. The person I talked to on the phone is going to check with the doctor (who is in a meeting) and call me back. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Did you get in to see someone? Please post an update and let us know how you are doing. Hopefully the fever is unrelated to surgery :-)

Dr.Alanis in Houston is just wonderful! He did a sleeve on me and my husband! He has an office in League City and Houston (Richmond and Dairy Ashford) . Let me know if you would like phone numbers.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
