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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
