Am in Denton Texas and I used Dr. David Provost. I have liver disease stage 4 and he was still able to do the surgery where other drs wouldn't. He's an awesome Dr. And individual. He cares about how you are doing and has a life long manual to use for the rest of your life. The staff is awesome and they genuinely care also. Good luck to all of you. Sincerely Debra (Dabberdoo)

So wonderful that you found a Dr. that is supportive. I'm Stage 2 diabetic liver disease. Hope all is well for you. Welcome to BariatricPal

Hey Dabber, what does your doc say about the effect of the probable weight loss on your liver disease? Prayers going up for your healing.

He said that this is the best thing for me. And not all drs will perform such a surgery. But with my pre op fluids for 2 weeks it as able to shrink what liver I have left and he was able to move it out of the way. I was terrified for the mortality rate was real high but I trusted my dr and had lots of prayers so I new it would be fine. He said he had done a couple before so I was glad of that experience he had. He is awesome and is saving my life. Filling his instructions but having problems with the water. Thank you for the prayers. Probably next year ( hopefully) will go on the list for a transplant. Now that scares me. Baby steps and drink your water! Lol. Thank you for your prayers they mean so much to me. Phase one over phase two next. Then happy birthday to me!!!! Dabberdoo

Congratulations on your surgery!

My husband would be a super high risk patient, hoping to find a surgeon who would preform the sleeve on him.

Blessings,

Kathleen

If your in the Denton/dallas/ft worth area dr. Provost is a good one. I was majorly high risk also. Mortality rate was high but I believed in dr. Provost experience and all the prayers that got me thru it. I had no problems at all. Good luck to your husband. I'd make sure he has done the same kind of surgery as the disability your husband has. Good luck to you and your husband.
