Has anyone had any experience with this Dr? I am scheduled for surgery May 2nd.

I had my lapband done by Dr. Nirmul back in May of 2010. He's great but besides for the surgery part and the follow up you don't see him at all. At least I didn't. You see the NP and I love Maria she's my favorite. Let me know if you have any questions!

I had him in November. I love True Results. I've only seen NP or PA for fills. I've not had a need to see the surgeon after post op. I love that I never have to wait, they are very prompt with their appointment times. Informative too.

I was banded by him on 3-8-13 .. He was good. Not much of a bedside manner. I saw him the day of my surgery and not since then. But the people at the office are awesome! Willing to listen, willing to answer anything. They are really kind and supportive

Thank you for the replies. I'm glad to hear the positive reviews. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous.

I have surgery scheduled for 5/23/13 with Dr. Nirmul. I'm a little nervous because I NEVER had surgery before. Can you guys please let me know how you guys are progressing? I need friends for support as I am new to this site. Please add me.

I am having surgery with Dr. Nirmul on 6/20/13. Excited and terrified all rolled into one! Tell me how you all are doing?

I'm doing okay! My only issue is with the times between fills...Otherwise, you've gotta remember to eat healthy and CHEW, CHEW, CHEW!! Good luck!!

I am scheduled sept 4th with nurmil- I meet him aug 27th to ask any questions- this might sound kind of stupid, but I don't know what questions to ask that haven't already been answered by my previous year of research, interviewing people for the personal experiences, reading the book true results gave me and lurking on this (and other) forums. What questions should I be asking my surgeon? I know 3 people personally that had nurmil as their surgeon (with zero complications). I've waited years to do this while learning about it and feel like none of that is really going to prepare me for my own personal journey with it anyway, I am ready to just do this and take it day by day!

I asked questions that were specific to him and my surgery. Such as when can I swim? Hernia repair stuff, hair loss, etc.

He is very good. I was banded on 6/27. Other than the consult and the day of surgery have had no contact with him. The TR staff is going to be your lifeline for all questions and answers since you will be seeing them regularly. Compare it to a wedding, you're going to do all this planning and prep for the big day, and on that day it will be over before you realize it. The only difference is there is no cake afterwards.

I am to meet Dr. Nirmul on Aug 27th also. 1:30. So looks like I will be meeting some of you. I am going to ask a question about the pain meds. I have always had a rough time wit pain meds with upset stomach. I want to know if I can take a shot of the meds before surgery to make sure my tummy won't be upset. I understand that we don't want any vomiting so I would like to see what it does to me before hand.

I am also going through True Results in Scottsdale. I had my third of four hoop jump kiss my insurance company's ass visits, today. Just one more. Yay. I don't know when I will meet Dr. Nirmul. I imagine I'll have my consult after I get final insurance approval. I am well researched, prepared and ready to do this.

c4cathy and I live in the same area. Hi Cathy.

I'll be up there for a fill on the 27th. May bump into you.

I am also having my surgery with this Doctor! I am "patiently" waiting for the Ins to send through the approval glad to see so many with no complications using the Doctor

Cathy. How did it go today?
