I am a Sept sleever..trying to see who has what doc and their experience

Dr Scarbourough from tlc clinic. Houston Texas I was sleeved this Saturday.

Sleeved July 2012 by Guillermo Alvarez in MX. Down 93 pounds with 7 Togo!

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.

So when are we all getting together ?? ????

_{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.

Any of y'all self pay and had a revision to sleeve?

I am self pay but not a revision. Not sure if you were looking for either or both!

I currently have a band and want to get it removed and a sleeve performed.

Thanks for the reply.

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.

Are you self pay?

No I have BCBSTX

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 just had surgery yesterday and used Dr. Holder-Hayes at Baylor College of Medicine. She was excellent, and 12 hours later, I am posting. She did a fabulous job and is cautious without being paranoid. Also, I was cash pay, and I believe the quoted rates were very reasonable.
