I have been giving free information seminars in Houston at University General Hospital for 6 months or so. Typically they are Thursday nights from 7-9.

My staff comes too, and can answer questions about anything from insurance, financing, recovery, etc. In fact, my manager's mom was on the show Big Medicine and she took care of her so she has a lot of helpful advice !

Anyone interested can give us a call at 713-526-5550 to check the schedule.

Im also planning a big obesity related event in Dallas for May with lots of patients telling their stories, various professionals, vendors and surgeons coming too. Let me know if you'd be interested and we can get you a pre-registration discount. Yours truly will be the "MC" and there will be plenty of evening activities at the nearest local dance hall.

How much weight does a person ahve to lose before they would be considered a candidate for PS? I had a band done in September 2007 and I am down over 80 pounds. I have about 45 more to lose. I exercise and walk like a fiend all the time and this has helped me a great deal but face it I know there will be something left over hanging around. I have watched Big Medicine with both Dr. Davis father and son and it looks interesting enough but for me it would be so worth it to have a lower body lift. My Health plan coverd my Lap Band and all the other expenses. I wonder how can I go about finding out about the skin removal after weightloss surgery.

      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.
