Houston Park plaza hospital



Recommended Posts

It's a little late for this question since my surgery is tomorrow but I was wondering if anyone has had their surgery at Park Plaza hospital in Houston and how the staff and rooms were. How long was your stay in the hospital?

I have the same doctor. He seems very good. I forgot to ask him how long the hospital stay was. I am assuming 1-2 days. I also forgot to ask if he uses port drains (I think that is what it is called). Did you have one? When was your surgery?

He doesnt do drains....he is a GREAT doctor....I stayed for 2 days, but I was doing so well he was ready to release me the next day.....I stayed the second day because I already paid for it (I was self-pay) I had my surgery in June 2012....

Thanks for the responses. I didn't think I was that nervous but I just looked in the mirror and have a rash on my face and neck. I am hoping it is nerves but am scared that if it does not go away they won't do the surgery. When I am excited or nervous I typically get flushed on my face and chest but this feels a little different. I guess I need to try and relax and pray it goes away before tomorrow morning.

I had my sleeve by Dr Yu at Park Plaza. The hospital, staff, equipment and so on were great. Dr Yu is a great surgeon. I went home the day after my surgery. Good luck!

Had my surgery 7 weeks ago there with Dr. Yu. I had the sleeve and hernia repair. The rooms and staff were great. I had no pain no naseau he kept it well controlled. I stayed one night. I only had one incision in the belly button.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
