Houston or Dallas Area Surgeon Reccomendations

Dr. Sherman Yu with Texas Laproscopic Consultants (Houston) did my sleeve in December of 2013. I am really pleased with their whole organization.

@@Weighting2BeFree which doc are you referring to?

I think it would be helpful for people to know as they are researching, especially since so many patients travel from out of state to Texas for surgery.

Dr. Primomo with UT Physicians in the Davis Clinic. He and his staff are great!! 1 yr post op and not a single complication. He has great bedside manner and truly cares about his patients!

I will be using Dr Primomo as well. A girl at worked used him and had zero problems. She said she is a poster child for sleeve surgery. Even did the pose. He is at The Davis Climic and two other co workers used them. But they did the old Dr Davis and said he was arrogant but good.

I would think concerning post op visits that if you live in Houston you would want your doctor to be in Houston. It would be easier on you. There are a lot of great doctors here. Just my thoughts.

      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. 🤞
