Recommended Posts

Hi, I am new to the forum, and I am looking to see if anyone was sleeved in Houston, and which Doctor you used. I have two upcoming appointments, one with True Results, and the other with UT Physicians. Has anyone had their procedure done with this facilities? I am excited and nervous and just looking for advice and people to talk to.

Thanks in advance and Best of Luck to everyone!

Havent heard anything about those surgeons or facilities. I'm using Dr. Howard and really like him! He & Dr. Balette together run Houston Bariatric Surgery (http://www.houstonbariatricsurgery.com)

I go to the True Results on Red Oak, but I'll be having my surgery in Houston. A friend of mine goes to the True Results in downtown Houston and loves the staff there. Good luck!

My husband and I used Dr Garth Davis with UTP. We have both been very pleased with him.

My surgery date is March 17th with Dr. Erik Wilson. I have been a patient of his since 2007, when I had lap band. Now, I will have the sleeve. I have no complaints about Dr. Wilson and his staff. They are friendly and professional, and I feel very comfortable with him.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
