I am worried....I live near San Antonio and I am a teacher. I have BCBS-TRS and they only accept surgery from a Blue Distinction hospital. Inow must go to Houston and have surgery with Dr. Davis. It is scary not to be home in case something happens to me and my loved ones will be 4 hours away. Also, I have been approved and met my requirements with Dr. Patel but nw I must meet with Dr. Davis on October 30, 2012. I hope to have surgery before Thanksgiving. Has any used Dr. Davis? Any thoughts would be great!

Which one? The dad or the son? I have a friend that had the dad for a RNY a few years ago at The Methodist Hospital, when they were on the reality show "Big Medicine". She said he had an amazing bedside manner, and was so supportive in the clinic. Try to relax, these guys have many years of experience in bariatric medicine and surgery.

^{I am going to have the surgery with the son, Garth. I trust that they are great doctors I just hate that I can not hae the surgery in San Antonio. It would make things so much easier. I have two small kids anndjust trying to get everyone adjusted is difficult. I see that yor stats are close to mine..how are you doing since surgery?}

wow....i am so sorry for all of the typos....i did not double check!
