Houston Lap banders please help...



Recommended Posts

I am trying to find a surgeon in the Houston area. Thera are many large surgery centers that you see advertised a lot and I am going to one of the informational seminars on Sat. I have called and left messages with about 3 of them in Houston and I am dissapointed to say that I haven't even been responded to. This makes me uneasy about these places.

If you were banded in the Houston area and liked your surgeon please respond with your reccomendations. Thanks so much!:thumbdown:

Hi. I am 4 days post-op. I used Dr .Richard Collier - he has offices in Conroe and in the Woodlands:thumbup:. He is with Journeylite but i used the Conroe Regional Medical Center instead of the Journeylite surgery center because I have PPO benefits. Fantastic surgeon with excellent bedside manner! My family and I were completely confident in him. I thanked him after the surgery and he said "The Lord took care of you while i just did a little work on you" .. Very Good Chrisitan doctor. He uses a fantastic anesthesiologist, also. They are wonderful!

I am currently going through Dr. Robert Marvin with Methodist Weight Loss. He is really laid back and knowledgeable. I am in month two of a three month diet program. Surgery will be at Methodist which is a center of excellence. Some insurance companies require surgery at a Center of Excellence, be sure to check that. To find more information go to Methodist Hospital website, you can even sign up for the seminar there.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
