Davis Clinic in Houston



Recommended Posts

I had my initial consultation today with Dr. Davis, of the Davis Clinic here in Houston. I have a BMI of 39.6, 237 lbs at 5'5, and he's suggesting the Sleeve would be the best option for me. Anyone ever been to the Davis Clinic and had a Sleeve, and if so, how well are you doing with it?

I didn't go to the Davis clinic, but I had the sleeve. I was 41 bmi, and insurance required a 6 month supervised diet. At the end of the diet I was 36.5 going into surgery. I'm 2 months postop down 30lbs, and feeling great.

How's your intake been, are there times you can't keep food down or experience pains after eating or drinking??

Intake varies depending on the type of food I eat, but generally about 3oz. No pains eating or drinking. I've always keep food down, but I make sure when I'm full I stop eating.

I’m glad when I hear people are doing well, I’m always afraid I’ll be that one rare person who has a failed sleeve surgery [emoji33]

That is how I feel, like the VSG will work for others but not me. I had surgery 10/03 lost 26.4 lbs and still feel like I'm terrified of failing.

      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.
