I had my first appointment with them this morning, and my surgery date is March 7th, I had a great experience. It's a little overwhelming, and a lot to process in one hour visit, and then I was like what the heck did i just do? But now I'm home re thinking everything, and discussing it all with my family. And I have to say this is the best decision I'm making for my self/health, and family. Good luck! Stay in touch.

Not Houston, I used the TR in Austin and have had a great experience. Everyone is very nice and very professional. If you are going the insurance route, they have the process down. They took care of everything and I got my approval letter 7 days after my last consultation visit... and was banded less than a month after that.

If Houston is half as good as Austin you are in great hands.

I am using TR Houston. I have an EGD on Monday and and start preop on March 11th and surgery on March 28. I felt the same way when I walked out of the office like OMG what did I just get myself into. I was/am a bit freaked out, but I know I am doing it to improve my health and I will be better off in the long run. I had a friend who went to them last summer and has had a good experience and that is why I chose them. Who will yall's surgeons be? Mine is Dr. Reilly.

I had surgery from TR Houston in December and I was very pleased. The only issue I had was I felt very rushed in post op care. So far I have lost 30lbs and it is the best decision I made for myself

My surgery date is this Friday the 22nd. I'm using true results Houston. Dr Reilly. The have been great, the only thing after reading on here is I don't feel like the explained post op very well. Like the "green zone", how often for fills, if they use fluro fill etc... but otherwise great so far!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
