Need a doctor in Houston!



Recommended Posts

I thought I had a doctor to do the follow-up for me, but turns out he doesn't know very much about the sleeve at all. He doesn't know what to check etc.

I've been running a low grade fever off and on and want to find a doctor in Houston Texas that will take me as a patient.

I called Dr. Wilkenfeld (in Conroe), where I had been twice before for "consultation" for WLS - and my insurance wouldn't pay. Now that I did "self-pay" in Mexico, he won't do the follow-up.

Does anyone know of a doctor in Houston that I can use for the follow-up? I REALLY need to find someone because I'm not feeling very good.

Okay... having a bit of a pity party (tears and all) and trying to hide it. I just want a doctor to check me and let me know if I am okay or if I need some adjusting!

Will the Davis Clinic see you? They do bariatrics exclusively. If they won't, ask if there is someone they could refer you to.

Davis Clinic was VERY nice. The person I talked to on the phone is going to check with the doctor (who is in a meeting) and call me back. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Did you get in to see someone? Please post an update and let us know how you are doing. Hopefully the fever is unrelated to surgery :-)

Dr.Alanis in Houston is just wonderful! He did a sleeve on me and my husband! He has an office in League City and Houston (Richmond and Dairy Ashford) . Let me know if you would like phone numbers.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
