Any sleevers in the South Texas area? Would love to make some connections with local people that have been sleeved.

I'm north of Houston and waiting on approval with dr balette in the woodlands. You?

I'm just outside of Corpus Christi, in Ingleside. I'm waiting on approval with Dr. McDaniel.

That's crazy... I just moved from the woodlands and live now in Corpus!

That's fantastic! We will have to get together. I'm so glad to find someone in my area! Who is doing your surgery?

I have been researching a lot and have scheduled myself for my first seminar. Dr. Patel is whom I was recommended to from a nurse friend of mine so I'm going to check him out. Who is your doctor?

I'm using Dr. Dean McDaniel. He did my freinds gastric bypass and she was really happy with him...so far he has been great and I really like him. I know Dr. Patel does his surgery out of San Antonio and Dr. McDaniel does his out of Victoria. I also have a friend that got the lapband from Dr.Patel and she was really happy with him as well. I guess it's really just a toss up, but I know that I really like Dr. McDaniel and he makes me feel really comfortable.

I'm in Corpus and just had my VSG done Monday by Dr. Craig Chang out of Victoria (satellite office in Corpus). I highly recommend him. He is tough/strict, but also compassionate. He knows his stuff and I felt extremely safe in his surgical hands. I have friends who used Dr. Patel in San Antonio and they were happy with him. I do not know anyone close who has used Dr. McDaniel, but word is he is very nice. Where are you doing your surgery with Dr. McDaniel? My BCBS would only pay at Citizens in Victoria. Which was fine because everyone was really nice. Especially my nurses.

How long were you in the hospital?

One night. I left around 5 pm on Tuesday. My doc had mentioned I could stay another night if needed but my husband had to work early Wednesday. I really wish I would have stayed one more night but I survived :-) good luck!

Im in San Antonio and would love to connect with other sleevers.

Yeah he said just to plan for a 1 night stay, but since I work for a hotel and I get a discount, I booked a room for 3 nights just so I wouldn't have to worry about traveling right away.

Hey happydaisy! I'm from down here near Corpus Christi (actually in Ingleside) San Antonio isn't super far away!!
