Dr. Merriman is the top bariatic surgen in the ARKL TEX! He was my surgen for my sleeve. Trust me, you are in very good hands. The main thing is to listen and do exactly what he and his staff tells you. I know you will not regret it.

I am so glad I found you! lol I was having a tough time feeling confident without anyone to chat with about him. If you dont mind me asking, did you have insurance? And if you did, which and how much was your end? I am having a heck of a time with my insurance company and trying to figure out what I would be responsible for. Id also love to hear details about your surgery and how you are doing! I would appreciate it greatly! :)

HI! I didnt even get the notice that you responded back in April! lol Glitch probably. I love Dr. M. I am doing realllly well. So well in fact, that WL is going a little slower than average because I am able to consume more calories and I have had no adversions to any foods. I start the gym Monday and I know that the weight will start coming off a little quicker after that. I can answer any questions you have! Are you on Dr. M's FB?? How are you doing??

I think I'm gonna try and join the facebook page soon. It's been three days since surgery, I must say I feel a lot better than the first! :)

I am so glad you are feeling better!! Yes, the worst for me was the drain area. You should! It is a great help and knowing that there are locals going through the same things or that have advice is a nice.
