I see Dr Matthew St. Laurent, he works at both Methodist Willowbrook and North Cypress. I can't say enough good things about this man. Great bedside manner, he sat and actually listened, let me finish my thoughts first and then provided an answer! What a great feeling. I left his office and on the way out I said "dr I am so happy with you I'm fixin to give you a hug" he stopped looked at me and simply said "let's have it! The world needs more hugs"

I used Dr. Mirza and he was awesome! Very calm, patient and understanding. He answered every question I had and then some!

Hi i am scheduled for November 20th 2012 and I have been told that my surgeon Dr. Felix Spiegel is one of the best and that the hospital University General is a very good bariatric hospital. The office staff has been wonderful to me and answering all my questions when I call constantly with just one more question. LOL. So far so good for a surgeon in Houston.

How was your experience with him

I was self pay for my revision....so my price was more than the typical VSG.....but Dr. Yu has self pay packages as well, his office is very helpful in telling you up front what you will be responsible for before surgery....

I have Dr. Sherman Yu. He looks pretty young but has an excellent bedside manner and doesn't rush you out of his office. The ladies at his office are also very helpful with those "I was just wondering" questions! :)

It's good to hear positive things from there office. I'm on my 5th weight management class I need next month and its sleeve time =). I'm having mine with Dr. Terry Scarbourough.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
