Concerns...i Have To Go To Houston For Surgery Becasue Of Insurance



Recommended Posts

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?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
