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 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.

      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! 😞
