Well, the good news is, after 7 months of being unemployed, my husband has a new job!
The less good news: We have to move from Austin to Houston in less than a month.
Cue me freaking out!
I need a new bariatric Dr, a new pediatrician, new daycare, new place to live, new job....arrrggghh!

So, anyone in Houston have a doc they love? My MD here is happy to refer me to whoever I find.

I don't have any medical experience with these doctors, but I met both Dr. Garth Davis and Dr. Duc Voung last weekend at TABS WLS conference and liked them both.

Dr. Vuong is extremely big on support. He's known as "the support surgeon".

Dr. Davis is involved with the TLC show "Big Medicine".

Hope you find a doctor you can work with. :)

Duc Vuong patients beware!

EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW HOW DR. VUONG DOES NOT UPHOLD HIS OBLIGATIONS.

PATIENTS BEWARE!

I would wait until you know for sure where in the Houston area you will be living... and then try to find someone close to where you are. My doctor is clear across town... if I had it to do over again I would have chosen someone closer to where I live. Fighting the traffic to get there is a pain!!!

We'll be living inside the inner loop or perhaps just outside of it, since my husband will be working downtown and likely I will be trying to find a job to the medical center area.

You'll have it made then. If its just you and your DH (no kids?), loft apts are real popular now downtown..or midtown (btween downtown & the med center). You can even commute on the metro train. One bad side though is the air quality. I grew up inside the loop but now live out in the suburbs b/c the air can get so bad downtown and it never cools down enough in the summer because all the concrete retains the heat. There are some really nice neighborhoods in the med center area but not cheap. Happy house hunting!

My friend goes to Dr. Rincon and adores him. I'm not sure where in TX he is.
