Houston or Dallas Area Surgeon Reccomendations

Dr. Sherman Yu with Texas Laproscopic Consultants (Houston) did my sleeve in December of 2013. I am really pleased with their whole organization.

Blue Sky I am just starting the process and will be using Dr Kim's partner Dr Holden. Was your surgery at Baylor in Trophy Club? Anything you can share about the process would be awesome!

@@Weighting2BeFree which doc are you referring to?

I think it would be helpful for people to know as they are researching, especially since so many patients travel from out of state to Texas for surgery.

Dr. Primomo with UT Physicians in the Davis Clinic. He and his staff are great!! 1 yr post op and not a single complication. He has great bedside manner and truly cares about his patients!

I will be using Dr Primomo as well. A girl at worked used him and had zero problems. She said she is a poster child for sleeve surgery. Even did the pose. He is at The Davis Climic and two other co workers used them. But they did the old Dr Davis and said he was arrogant but good.

I would think concerning post op visits that if you live in Houston you would want your doctor to be in Houston. It would be easier on you. There are a lot of great doctors here. Just my thoughts.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
