I need to find a good Houston surgeon that is reasonable I have I insurance but they do not cover the surgery. I will have to self pay. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Also I want to have it done November 16 as I already have vacation scheduled.

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!

I agree he was awesome!

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

How was your experience with him

My Dr. was Brian Mirza and he was excellent!!!

I'm happy all is well. How much weight have you lost?

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'm happy all is well. How much weight have you lost?

I paid out of pocket 4900.

Sorry wrong answer lol. I've lost 73pds

Wow that is great....your out of pocket is great compared to mines. We just have to do what we have to do....

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.
