They have a wonderful Weight Management program. .r u having your surgery soon?

My mom had gastric bypass at UTMB and felt like she had a great experience. I do not recall her doctor's name though.

My coworker had her sleeve done by Dr. Reardon a year ago. She has done amazingly well. She was about 240 lbs preop and is now about 140-150 lbs. She feels well, is so positive, and cannot say enough positive things about the her experience.

I went through the liquid Diet program in the Weight Management center at Methodist and it was a high quality experience except that I could not tolerate the shakes. I'm now considering the sleeve, as recommended by my physician. I will either have Reardon or Vadeem Sherman perform the operation if I am approved, get through all the financial issues, and can figure out how to live post-op given my intolerance to the whey Protein.

My surgery was rescheduled for dec 9...I am meeting dr Reardon tomorrow at 4:00 pm..yes I did the methodist weight management program at methodist..lost 50 pounds about 6 years ago but gained it back. I am going to the November support group for those who has had or will have the surgery. I attended this in October as well. Very informative. Michellemybelle try to attend the nov meeting at methodist hospital, downtown.
