Houston Park plaza hospital



Recommended Posts

It's a little late for this question since my surgery is tomorrow but I was wondering if anyone has had their surgery at Park Plaza hospital in Houston and how the staff and rooms were. How long was your stay in the hospital?

I have the same doctor. He seems very good. I forgot to ask him how long the hospital stay was. I am assuming 1-2 days. I also forgot to ask if he uses port drains (I think that is what it is called). Did you have one? When was your surgery?

He doesnt do drains....he is a GREAT doctor....I stayed for 2 days, but I was doing so well he was ready to release me the next day.....I stayed the second day because I already paid for it (I was self-pay) I had my surgery in June 2012....

Thanks for the responses. I didn't think I was that nervous but I just looked in the mirror and have a rash on my face and neck. I am hoping it is nerves but am scared that if it does not go away they won't do the surgery. When I am excited or nervous I typically get flushed on my face and chest but this feels a little different. I guess I need to try and relax and pray it goes away before tomorrow morning.

I had my sleeve by Dr Yu at Park Plaza. The hospital, staff, equipment and so on were great. Dr Yu is a great surgeon. I went home the day after my surgery. Good luck!

Had my surgery 7 weeks ago there with Dr. Yu. I had the sleeve and hernia repair. The rooms and staff were great. I had no pain no naseau he kept it well controlled. I stayed one night. I only had one incision in the belly button.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
