Where are the Houston Sleevers!?!?!



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled for my surgery on May 5, 2011. I am very excited, and not nervous for the surgery, except getting sick from anesthesia. But I am worried about not having a sounding board or someone going through the same journey. There are LapBand support groups here, and the VSG support groups meet once a week on a specific subject, but set up like a class. It would be really great to make some local friends to meet up with or have some accountability. Is there anyone in Houston, Texas looking for the same thing and want to give it a try?

Best,

Steven

I am from Houston and would love to start a group. I haven't been to any support groups yet because my revision specialist is downtown and it is too far for me to make it to the hospital or doctor's support groups on time with the traffic after work. Congrats on your upcoming surgery date!!!

I'll come...lets set a date and a place. Starbucks is too small. We need somewhere with some privacy. Ummmmm I-45? There is a Pappas Seafood on I-45 near West Road. Any better places? I think we should think of a time too. I can say that I have a family, so timing is everything. I could do a Tuesday night. Anyone ANyone?

I would love to come, but I-45 is a bit far for me and I have a family, too. I could meet in that area if it was on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon but probably not during the week. I live in Northwest Houston.

I'm actually in Tomball, which is more like Northwest. Name a place on 290 and I'll travel. I could do a late Saturday afternoon. Sunday is busy for us/church/cooking, etc.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
