Just joined this group. I am an RN, I am having my surgery july 10 in Houston. My surgeon is Dr. Sherman Yu. I have a lapband that has slipped. I had the band since 5/09. I lost about 50 lbs and quit losing after about 2 mos. I had an ultra conservative surgeon who would not fill very often. Turns out to be a good thing I would have really had problems after the slip if not for the fact that the band did not have much fluid in. My slip was upward most like caused by a vomiting episode. Anyways glad to be having the VGS.

Good luck. I am in Houston also. TLC is were I went, I love Dr. Scarbough. They both do the surgery together I heard. Is Park Plaza your hospital? I worked in the OR there. Great little hospital

Christine50, Yes Park Plaza is the hosp. I will have surgery in. Sorry you don't work there, maybe you would be my OR nurse. Dr. Yu did a gastric bypass on my daughter a couple yrs. ago and she really liked him and she has had very good results. She lose over 100 lbs. and is maintaining with no problems. I hear very good things about Dr. Sarborough too. I think they do their surgeries together.

bmooney,

Dr. Yu is my doctor too. I'm not sure where I'm scheduled for surgery, I have one last dietician before they submit for insurance approval. Good Luck on July 10th!
