Recommended Posts

hi, it's me again. i'm going to fight and get my surgery even though i'm not covered. i read on the thread about this attorney walter (sorry, i've forgotten his last name) and his team who i may ask for assistance if my doctor's letters won't help. what i'd like to know if anyone on the forum can recommend a surgeon/surgeons here in houston, texas who does this type of surgery and the hospital/hospitals they work. as you can see this is weighing heavy on my heart and i think it maybe a possiblity of a ray of hope that if i do what needs to be done, i might be able to get the procedure. thank you

He's Walter Lindstrom and it's Obesity Law and Advocacy Center for his law practice.

I'm sorry, but I can't help much with a good surgeon in the Houston area. One place to start is looking at the board here, or check out obesityhelp.com and look for surgeons in your area. The ones that show up with stars next to their name have paid to be on OH, but even those without stars usually have patient reviews somewhere on the site. Do a search for the names once you have some (remember to click to search on OH, not in Web).

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
