Dr. Eric Wilson in Houston? I am attending his seminar tomorrow with full intentions of having him perform my surgery. Any feedback would be appreciated. I am self-pay and am wondering about his costs also. We are not going to fight the insurance company, because the language pertaining to WLS is much the same for fertility treatments. We have been down the road with them so we know their drill. I just want to get this done and move on with life.

TIA!

Hi Cyndy,

I used Dr Hadar Spivak, but my closest friend used Dr Wilson and LOVES him! She says he's super nice and the staff is great too. She goes every 6 weeks for fill/adjustment, I think perhaps it's played a large role in her success (she's lost 90 lbs since Nov 2005)... that and working out at Curves M-F.

I'm attending the support group meeting tomorrow night at Memorial Hermann too! I think the seminar starts at 6:00, the "Bariatric Buddies" support group begins at 6:30 PM and it's for anyone interested who's had or considering bariatric surgery... there's always a mixture of band and bypass patients. I enjoy connecting with others and not feeling so alone. Last month a few people from the seminar same to sit in for a while. And, some of the people who've already had the surgery will go out to chat with seminar visitors.

All the best,

Karla

Thank you for the information, Karla! I am anxiously awaiting this seminar tonight so we can get this ball rolling!
