bmooney364 30 Posted May 28, 2012 Just joined this group. I am an RN, I am having my surgery july 10 in Houston. My surgeon is Dr. Sherman Yu. I have a lapband that has slipped. I had the band since 5/09. I lost about 50 lbs and quit losing after about 2 mos. I had an ultra conservative surgeon who would not fill very often. Turns out to be a good thing I would have really had problems after the slip if not for the fact that the band did not have much Fluid in. My slip was upward most like caused by a vomiting episode. Anyways glad to be having the VGS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christine50 9 Posted June 8, 2012 Good luck. I am in Houston also. TLC is were I went, I love Dr. Scarbough. They both do the surgery together I heard. Is Park Plaza your hospital? I worked in the OR there. Great little hospital Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmooney364 30 Posted June 12, 2012 Christine50, Yes Park Plaza is the hosp. I will have surgery in. Sorry you don't work there, maybe you would be my OR nurse. Dr. Yu did a gastric bypass on my daughter a couple yrs. ago and she really liked him and she has had very good results. She lose over 100 lbs. and is maintaining with no problems. I hear very good things about Dr. Sarborough too. I think they do their surgeries together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ready4success 380 Posted June 16, 2012 bmooney, Dr. Yu is my doctor too. I'm not sure where I'm scheduled for surgery, I have one last dietician before they submit for insurance approval. Good Luck on July 10th! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
