Well I have been having this problem for last 7 years. back and forward struggle. but this is where I need help i am at my biggest. 264lbs.Things are getting hard for me walking is hard. Being with me is hard so I decided that is time to see a professional and seek some help and found Dr. Namann Houston Texas a bariatric surgeon. I went to his simanar and decided that RNY is what I wanted I saw a way out of my over coat that I have wearing for the last 4 years. my first appointment is on 2-20-2006 psyc eval.
4-11-06 I have not posted in along time. I have changed doctors to Dr. Ungson in Mexico from Dr. Naaman. I found him while on line. I researched him and talked to him and to alot of his patients by email thank you all for your help. They sent pictures of their trip and everything you would need to see when making this diffcult disscusion. I am a self payer that is why I changed from Dr. Naaman. I didnot want to spend all my savings still having to maintain at home.I will spend 5 days in mexico 2 in the hospital and 3 in a very nice hotel with a oncall nurse I am excited I have my surgery on APRIL 19,2006 I can not belive it.
4-17-06 tommorrow I get on a plane for Mexico I can't wait but still don't know what I am getting into. The plane leaves texas at 11:45 I need to pack so talk to you all when I am on t eother side.
4-21-06 well I am on the losing side I arrived in Mexico and Dr. Ungson's assistanced was at the airport waiting for me and brought my anut an I to the hotel. The hotel was a very nice and clean place. on the next day 4-19-06 his assistanced and Dr. Ungson came to pick me and brought me to the hospital for pre-op. my sugery was for 3: 00pm well after surgery I was sore but It was not as bad as i expected. I stayed in the hospital for 2 days the nurses and the staff was the best that I have ever had; even with the communcation difference. Then we returned to the hotel the staff there was also nice. Dr. Ungson and his entire team was extremly great. and I would have not traded it. Dr. U spoke good english and so did some of his team. I have no complaints wit the whole trip to Mexico.
