yea it does take a while to get an appt. Mine is also scheduled for mid Dec. I am going for a tummy tuck as well..

Has anyone used this surgeon? I've heard he's the best in Houston. Just wondering if anyone has had any experiences with him.

What side of town r u on?

Anyone have any pointers for us "high pound seekers" (i.e. 15lbs or more) that would help us get the scale moving? I seem to get stuck at the same weight for a month or so and im hoping by doing this challenge it would help me see what im doing wrong.

Im not sure what to do but it sounds like fun. This would be my 1st challenge. I am trying to loose about 15lbs

This is soo weird!! For me I start to hiccup!! I never noticed that it was my sign of full until I read another thread on here as a sign to watch out for. So ever since then is when I noticed the hiccuping.

Dont waste ur time going to True Results-Houston if you were not banded thru them. They dnt see outside patients. Im one of their patients and I havent had...No let me rephrase that... they WILL NOT give me a fill since November! Saying that im tight enough but yet im alwayz hungry and im not losing any weight!!

This Dr's. fills are $300!! He will see patients not banded thru him as an "outside patient" meaning that he will NOT file thru the insurance and the visits are $300!

I was approved thru AETNA and only had to do 3 months of supervised visits and was then approved in less than 5 days after submission.

Ive been with AETNA since 2006-2007 but they had a clause that didnt cover the procedure. They just changed their policy in 2009 to cover weightloss surgeries and I jumped right on it and ended up having the procedure in March of 2010.

I went thru AETNA and it was a breeze. After my 3 month's of Dr. visits and completing all of the other requirements (EKG, Psych eval) my claim was submitted and approved in less than 5 days and I had my surgery 2wks later

Well I had my surgery last year, March 10th. I started out at 243 and I jus made it to ONEderland last week and now im at 197 as of this morning. My weight has been yo-yoing for the past 5 months and slowly droping. I wish it would jus fall off quicker than what it has but I am very grateful for the pounds that I have lost.

When you find out please let me know as well! When this question is asked, alot of the responses are refering us to some Dr. in Bryan, TX. or Tyler TX. but I was hoping to find someone closer IN the HOUSTON or immediate surrounding area. Houston is too big of a city to not have anyone here to do fills for other patients.

I used him...

Before trying out the zumba class at the YMCA I pulled up a lot of videos on youtube just to get a feel of the types of moves that they were going to be doing...lol.... I felt so out of place my 1st time going but I had confidence about the moves because alot of them were the same as the ones I tried out on youtube. I love the fact that I "practiced" at home in the comfort of my own living room before going public with it. I really have no coordination/rhythm at all and definately not a dancer...lol When I cant make it to the YMCA I turn to youtube . There are alot of zumba videos that ive falling in love with on there.
