Hi, I'm new here. I'm looking at having VGB done and am wondering if anyone else has been a patient of his and how everything turned out... anyone? Sorry, Sherman Yu.

Hello Bev,

I am also a patient of Dr. Sherman Yu. I work for Memorial Hermann and all I can say is that he came highly recommended. I have a cousin who was a patient of Dr. Yu. She had the gastric bypass back in March and she is doing great! She was extremely pleased with Dr. Yu and his staff. I am in the process of preparing for the gastric sleeve. I had my consultation with Dr. Yu on 06/29/12. Of course because of insurance i have to be on the 6month weight management program...ugh. I am so ready to get this procedure done. Per Dr. Yu's office it looks like the procedure will most likely take place towards the end of December or early January. Have you had your consultation and how did it go?

Dr. Yu is my Doctor as well, I had my surgery in June...if you live in the Houston area, join my WLS Buddies Meetup Group at Http://www.meetup.com a number of us have Dr. Yu as a doctor...its a small world..

I don't have Dr Yu, but I did use Dr Scarborough in the same practice TLC surgery and loved him. The staff has been very helpful as well. I am 4 1/2 months post op.

Thanks everyone! I haven't had the consultation yet as I have vacation coming up and I don't want to fret about it while I'm gone.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
