Any Houston TX sleevers.. Who's your surgeon?



Recommended Posts

I did my research.. My Ob-gyn and my primary doctor both suggested Dr. Hollis in the Houston area. They said he was the best. Trying to go directly through him never happened. His schedule is so tight and I could get no appt. So I decided to go through true results. The day I went to true results I had 80% of what I needed done. In one day. It was so fast. After they sent the case to dr Hollis' office it just became a waiting game. I called them almost every day. I met the nurse practitioner for about 20 mins in a group meeting about 2 wks before my surgery, then that same day I met the dr. In the same group meeting for about 10 mins. I didnt see him again until the day of the surgery for about 5 mins and that was it. Everyone talks about having a NUT.. I don't think I have one! Everytime I have questions I have to call the nurse practitioner and like she stated the day we met, "Don't call me over silly stuff!" .... So I try not to call.. I wonder if it would have been different If I went directly through him..

Dr. Bonner in Katy has been taking care of my Husband. He works at Memorial Hermann Memorial city. He took my husband in after he had a complication from his sleeve in Mexico. What a dedicated meticulous man! I spoke with all the nurses and even anesthesiologists who jave worked with him and they all say the same thing. He is dedicated, very particular about his method, and thorough. I have five kids and am happy to know I have such a doctor working on my husband. Btw...Marvin, Ponce, TLC wouldn't even talk to me when I called to see if they could help my hubby. He was hospitalized for over 51 days...Dr. Bonner was the first to take the time and help.

Sleeved on 9/11, exactly two weeks ago. EXTREMELY HAPPY with TLC and Dr. Scarborough. Even better is University General Hospital on Fanin. That hospital has 70 beds and very patient-oriented care. Amazing hospital.

Dr. Darry Meyer in Lufkin, is a rock star ! I realize that is a 2 hour drive for some of you, but he and his team are on top of everything. His coordinator sent my paperwork in to BCBS Texas the day I finished my required 3 month waiting game, which made me get approval 7 days later. Awesome staff, and Dr. Meyer is well known for his expertise.

      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!!
