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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
