Let me know what you find out. I need a physician who is in the area.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is wonderful news Chandra. I am so happy for you!!

I had Dr. Houston for my virgin DS.   Mine was done lap with a 34 french bougie and a 100 cc.    I think the world of Dr. Houston - he is the greatest.   When i was selecting a surgeon - there was another surgeon in KY that everyone thought i should go to because he had more experience.   I chose Dr. Houston because I really connected with him during my consult and while he had done a ton of DS's he had been doing WLS for a while and he was a good cutter.   My insurance covered my DS so I am not sure what Dr. Houston's fee - everyone at CMC is great - you really can't go wrong.   The only think I have to say is if you are seeing a RNY to DS revision then you won't get a true DS with Dr. Houston. 

I just wanted to share this.  I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 23 after 2 yrs of trying to have a child when I was married.  I continued to be told that my chances of pregnancy were slim to none unless I lost the weight which could reverse the PCOS.  I had my WLS May 2008 in the very capable hands of Dr. Houston.  I asked about the chances of fertility after I lost the weight and he said there is no gaurantee but it is likely as he's had other patients conceive after. I had begun to doubt that my case would be the same because nothing was happening after I got down to my goal weight of 155 and had been having regular cycles again a few months after surgery.  Last Sunday I was 9 days late for my cycle.  I took not one but two pregnancy test because I couldn't believe the first one.  I am happy to announce after a visit to my GYN this past Friday that I am 6 weeks pregnant.  I could go on and on about all the joys of the journey but nothing compares to this.  It was a long time dream of mine to have a child that I never though would be realized.  I can't even begin to explain to you the great joy that came from seeing my 6 week old baby during the ultrasound.  I want to say thank you to the staff for Dr. Houston, the staff at Centennial and of course Dr. Houston for giving me greater joy beyond what he had already provided.  If you know the pain of thinking you can't have a child due to weight issues, know that this can very well happen for you too.  Put your body in the hands of capable professionals, your mind on the path they put you on and your heart to the power of God's miracles.
