I have been giving free information seminars in Houston at University General Hospital for 6 months or so. Typically they are Thursday nights from 7-9.

My staff comes too, and can answer questions about anything from insurance, financing, recovery, etc. In fact, my manager's mom was on the show Big Medicine and she took care of her so she has a lot of helpful advice !

Anyone interested can give us a call at 713-526-5550 to check the schedule.

Im also planning a big obesity related event in Dallas for May with lots of patients telling their stories, various professionals, vendors and surgeons coming too. Let me know if you'd be interested and we can get you a pre-registration discount. Yours truly will be the "MC" and there will be plenty of evening activities at the nearest local dance hall.

By chance would you plan on having one of these events on a friday or Saturday anytime soon ? I would love to come but I live in Austin .

If not I will make arrangements closer to goal .

Thanks

How much weight does a person ahve to lose before they would be considered a candidate for PS? I had a band done in September 2007 and I am down over 80 pounds. I have about 45 more to lose. I exercise and walk like a fiend all the time and this has helped me a great deal but face it I know there will be something left over hanging around. I have watched Big Medicine with both Dr. Davis father and son and it looks interesting enough but for me it would be so worth it to have a lower body lift. My Health plan coverd my Lap Band and all the other expenses. I wonder how can I go about finding out about the skin removal after weightloss surgery.
