Do you have a surgery date yet?

I have had no problems with True Results. But I would like to know about your experience with them.

My date is April 20. I am still needing my cardiologist to send approval for the surgery. He has done the testing and verbally told me all is great and he will give approval, but he has yet to give the written approval. I haven't had real problems with True Results. Sometimes the patient co-ordinator is hard to reach and sometimes I feel she should be more helpful. Maybe I am just a little demanding....but I am the patient!

I just wanted to make sure there were no big problems with anyone there. I mean they are doing surgery on us and I wanted to make sure my experience with them has been normal. I do know what you mean about it being hard to reach anyone. They did a biopsy on me when I had my EGD done. And it seemed like no one could tell me what the results were. I just kept getting transferred from person to person until I gave up. Thankfully the second time I called the girl who answered transferred me straight to the nurse and I got my answers right away.

I wish you the best of luck in on your weight loss journey.

Please do.

I had my surgery done in San Antonio with True Results & loved it. I moved to Dallas, & see a new dr through True Results here, & just enjoy the NP that does my check up & fills. It's really a neat place. I think you'll enjoy it too!!

I was banded @ True Results in Houston also. Dr. Ken Hollis did mine though. Everyone was so nice before and after the surgery. It's always a pleasant experience. My only complaint is I have to wait sometimes so long to get seen. But that seems to be at most doctors now a day.

GOOD LUCK MONDAY!!! Wishing you the Best! Im so excited for you!!! I dont even know you but I am excited none the less!!

Dr. Reilly did my surgery on 12/16. I have seen him only once since then and that was at my 2 week follow-up appointment. Since then, I have only seen the nurse practitioner.

With that being said, I have been very pleased with my experience. Dr. Reilly did an awesome job with the surgery and I haven't needed a fill. I know this is unusual and I can't say that it is because of him, but I can't help but feel like he must have gotten the band in exactly the perfect place for me. I haven't been concerned about not seeing him since then because I used him for his SURGICAL experience and he did his part.

There has been a long wait each time I go in, but it has been that way at every doctor's office I have been to in the last several years, so I can't say that is specific to True Results. They have looked at the band each time while I drink "the stuff" (barium, maybe?) to make sure there are no problems and that makes me feel confident that there are no issues. The last time I felt I needed further confirmation that I truly had restriction and it wasn't just all in my head, so the NP walked over to the monitor to point out the band, the liquid, the pouch, etc. and answered all my questions.

I really depended on my patient advocate a lot before surgery and e-mailed her almost daily. I typically received a response within a couple of hours. However, when I attempted to contact the office by phone for something else, I became very frustrated and felt that I was getting nowhere fast. Again, I relied on my patient advocate for help and we got it settled. Since my surgery, I have only contacted her a couple of times with questions and she still replied pretty quickly.

Beyond that, I haunt these boards for information. Good luck with your surgery and everything that goes with it!

Was your Patient advocate Rachel?

Was your Patient advocate Rachel?

Yep!

Yep!

Mine too!!!

I had surgery with Dr. Hollis on 3/30 and a very good friend had surgery with him on Friday (4/8). Both surgeries went great. The pre-op and recovery nurses are nice and helpful. We are both very please with the process so far. I have met Dr. Reilly and would also be comfortable using him.

Mine too!!!

I really liked her. A couple of days before surgery she called to make sure everything had been finalized and if I had any last minute questions and we ended up talking for probably half an hour about her personal experiences, etc. It really helped to keep me focused on the goal.
