Looking for someone in Houston area that has already had surgery. Can't seem to pick dr, I guess I'm jus a little scared. I've been speaking to Texas laparoscopic center an I've spoke with David clinic as well. Need help, suggestions??

I had my sleeve 3.5 weeks ago and it was done by Dr. Yu, with TLC. It wasn't covered by insurance so choosing a doctor who offered complication insurance was really important to me. I like him, he did a good job, and I liked that it was single incision. I had previously seen Dr Wison, with UT. I liked him, but it would have been much more expensive because he does his at Memmorial Hermann. If it had been covered by insurance, I probably wouldn't have bothered to look elsewhere. However, I'm glad I did because of the single incision.

I just replied to another post you made, but I am also in Houston and having my procedure with Dr. Scarborough at TLC. I've talked to a couple of people who were short if not rude, definitely left me with the feeling that I wasn't a priority. But when it matters, that staff is on top of their game. I had my EGD (last insurance requirement) July 18th and on July 19th I got a call from the office letting me know my application was submitted for insurance approval. Based on my experience, I would recommend them. (My procedure is scheduled for 9/11.)

I'm feeling really good. I've had a very smooth recovery. I haven't had any nausea and have pretty good energy. I had no problem scheduling my procedure and got my preferred date. By 1 week out, when I was able to drive, I felt like had my life back.

It's going okay I had a bump in the road but I have moved past it. I don't like broth so I miss salty. I will probably not eat Jello again after this is all done!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
