Dr. Alex Esquivel - Dr. Esquivel and True Results are top notch



Recommended Posts

I was banded by Dr Esquivel on Tuesday, Oct 18, 2011. I met him 2 weeks before and I felt that he was very informative to any questions. When he came in to talk to my husband and I, he was very intune to my other health insues before surgery. I have not had any problems so far and it has been 6 days since surgery. I had great nurses at St Davids South, in Austin Texas, they were very caring to anything I needed. I had to stay overnight because of insurance policy, but I felt that it was ok because it gave me time to adjust to moving around with the incisions and I got the rest I needed before going home. True Results in Austin has been very nice to me and my mentor Paul has kept me very informed to anything that I needed to know. So far since I started with True Results 6months ago I have lost a total of 23 pounds with 6 of those being since surgery 6 days ago.

If you just walk and try to stay as active as you can after surgery, with rest in between doing things. I feel that this has been the best joice that I have made.

Thanks to my support my husband, I could not do this without his support and help.

Good luck to everyone else who is having Dr Esquivel doing there surgery.

I'm am scheduled for surgery with Dr Esquivel on feb 24, actually me and my mm are going together, Avignon surgery back to back. We're out of Austin but driving to San Antonio for surgery at turning point center....

The experience has been great so far, love the staff at Austin office and paul has been great. Had an EGD with Esquivel 2 weeks ago and found him calming, caring, and reassuring.

I started with True Results Austin in Oct 2012. They guided me throught the hoop jumping to get insurance approval. My last consultation was on Jan 14, I got my approval letter Jan 22, and was banded on Feb 21.

Dr. Esquivel was great. Seems to be a sharp guy. Everyone at St. David's South was awesome. I was expecting a lot of hurry up and wait, this was not the case. Checked in about 815a, Registration done by 845. I was in a gown by 915 and knocked out before 10am. Home by 3pm.

You are in good hands. Dr Esquivel is great and I can't say enough about Paul and True Results. Love them.

I strongly recommend coming to the support group. Paul runs them, we meet at 6:30 on the 4th Thursday of the month.

Good luck with your upcoming surgery.

I had my EGD on 8/4 and surgery 8/5 thru True Results and Dr Esquivel. I have no complaints. I met the dr at pre-op meeting and before surgery. He was very nice and answered any questions that my hubby and I had. Everyone at TR has given me all the info and support I need. Once monthly (I think 4th Thurs of each month) the Austin office has a good support group. They meet from about 6:30-8 p.m. I would highly recommend TR. and Dr Alex Esquivel.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
