hope1106.....I was just sleeved by Dr Hollis on the 19th...my experience is no different. He is really good but his office staff sucks. I ran a medical office for 12 years and pretty uch everything they did bugged me. The isurance girl first got me approved for a bypass...then she got me approved for the sleeve but out patient instead of inpatient so things had to be fixed twice If I didnt keep on her butt and the insurane I probably still would have been waiting. Beth....I email her...I asked her about something that was on there after care sheet, she told me to read carefully because it states this...blah blah..but it didnt..I took it to her office and called her out on it..nicely of course.

I can say they only reason I stuck with them is because i kept hearing about how great he was.

I had a NUT because my insurance required it.... I used Sonny at the hospital..if you want one...go see her...she is terrific.

Missyt77...GL with your surgery....Dr Hollis is a great surgeon...just look past the office staff...friendly but they dont have it together at all.

Are you ladies planning ongoing to the monthly support group they have at the hospital ?I am thinking about it.

I will be sleeved 2/25/2014 by Dr. Bonner, he is very to the point and not too talkative which I guess is a good thing I dont know. But looking forward to it.

I'm using Dr Ahmad and having surgery 3/5. He's not necessarily super talkative either but he has patiently answered all of my questions and I feel confident in him. His bariatric coordinator, Rhiannon, is very sweet and helpful. I haven't seen a lot of people on this forum using him but I know several IRL and all have been very happy.

I am using Dr. SCARBOROUGH at TLC Surgery. My surgery is scheduled for 2/12 and I am having revision from band to sleeve. He is quiet but very informative and his staff is wonderful.

I would like to have thoughts on Dr. Robert Marvin in the Houston area. His office approved my insurance for the sleeve but I have heard Dr. Sherman Yu is excellent! If anyone in the Houston area has used Dr. Marvin I would appreciate your thoughts and also on Dr. Yu. I want a very skilled surgeon but I want someone that's willing to answer questions and is available to me after the surgery. I know Dr. Yu is a bariatric as well as general surgeon. From what I'm finding Dr. Marvin is bariatric surgery only. Okay Htown I really need to hear from you. I have my first visit with Dr. Marvin next week.

      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?
