Looking for surgeon in Houston Texas to sleeve low BMI



Recommended Posts

Can anyone recommend a surgeon in Houston Tx that will sleeve a low BMI? My BMI is 32.

I recently turned 65 so I have Medicare and AARP United Healthcare Suppliment Plan. Is it possible they will pay for the surgery? I will self-pay if needed.

I have several co-morbidities, diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, sleep apnea, spinal stenosis and have had 2 heart attacks. My endocrinologist is recommending the surgery. Endo sent my info to Dr. Vadim Sherman. But that was 2 weeks ago and no phone call yet.

I have struggled with my weight for so long that I just need some help.

Thanks everyone for your help.

I am using Dr Ata Ahmad in Houston and I really like him. I don't know for sure about his surgery requirements because I'm not borderline. However, if you call his office and ask for Rhiannon, his bariatric coordinator, she can answer any questions you might have. She is going on vacation next week but you may be able to catch her tomorrow morning if she's in the office still. She's very sweet and will help you figure out if you qualify for surgery, help figure out your insurance, and talk to you about your options if you don't have insurance. You may need an appointment but I believe that if you end up being self pay, the consultation is free.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
