Any Texas Gastric Sleeve Buddies?



Recommended Posts

I loved Dr Kuhn & George. I have had multiple abdominal surgeries & I saw eight surgeons in the DFW area. (Kim, Idhe, Barker, Veninga, Roy, Alexander, Benevinedes, and Kuhn). This was a two year journey for me. Band, By-Pass, or Sleeve and could it be done laproscopically. Dr Kuhn was the only one who would even try to do it that way, which saved me $10K and a week in the hospital.

He is the most experienced surgeon in DFW. He pioneered band to sleeve revision. I can't say enough good things.

Medical City is great also.

I had a very positive experience.

Can I join in? I'm in Houston (Humble/Atascocita area) and planned to be sleeved this summer by Dr. Richard Collier in The Woodlands/Conroe. Have to wait to see if some job interview work out before setting a date.

Anyone use Dr. Collier? Most of the Houstonians didn't say who their surgeon was.

I am in Houston - NW in Cyfair.

My doc was Ata Ahmad...I wouldnt recommend him but he wasn't bad - just not as good as I expected.

I was sleeved 1/4/12 and hit Onderland yesterday. Would love walking buddies, even if only occasionally!

What day? My sister and I are going to Dr. Alvarez June 1. We are looking for people that might be there at that time. She is having the surgery and I am just going to comfort her. I had mine 8.5 months ago.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
