I had my DS with Dr. H on 11/2/10 and surgery went great. I had some issues with getting in water and protein because I just couldn't tolerate anything but there was nothing mechanically wrong. I just couldn't get it in. He did do a scope and that seemed to be the turning point and from then on it's been all good for me. I think my follow up lasted maybe 5 mins... he asked a couple ?s said the weight loss is good and then off I went to the vampire... ha ha ha! I would say choosing the DS was one of the best choices I ever made. It was right for me and I am soooooo happy with it. I have done fabulous! He knows what he is talking about.

I had the DS surgery with Dr. Houston in August of 2010. Surgery went great and I had no issues at all. He is very strict on being compliant with protein and vits so be ready for lectures if you are not. Also before you meet with him make sure you research the surgery before hand. I went in wanting the DS and he thought the RNY was a better choice. I had done so much research on the RNY, DS, and Lapband I already knew what I wanted and he had no problem when I said I wanted only the DS. The insurance approval process was fast but he only performs the DS on Tuesdays so it took me 3 months from the insurance approval date to get a surgery done. It was well worth the wait. If you have any other questions just let me know!

Hi,

Dr. H did my DS last January.  Love him.  TO date have not had any problems.

I still see him every 6 months or so for follow up and labs.

He does expect you to do your part and keep up with everything.

Glad I found him. 

My DS rocks.

Best of luck to you.

Rhonda

Hi, I have been off the board for a long time now. I also have not been back to see Dr Houston in awhile. I made an appt for this month so Ican get back on track.
Dr Houston did my Roen Y Aug.7,2007 and I never had one problem with the surgery or had any bad effects afterwards. I found him to be very professional and no nonsense.He does expect his patients to keep on track and not to slack....poet and did not know itLOL. Best of luck to you!

Congrats on your loss so far.  That is very good for a week.  It's amazing how quickly the scales move, especially just after surgery.  How are you doing with your diet?

Khem

P. S. Why don't you come over to the VSG forum?  You will get a lot more feedback over there as it is busier than this one.

 I haven't been on here in a good while but this was such a good tool.  I hope all of you get as much out of this support group as I did.  Now three years out as of April Fools Day gained back the ten pounds from my lowest and gained another eight pounds where I've been.  I hope and pray that each one of you succeed on the long time.
