I have nothing but raves about Dr. Mirza as a person he's very genuine and empathatic to his patients' struggles. As a surgeon, he's top notch. As an office, EVERYONE there is top notch. I actually got my procedure authorized, two weeks before I had completed HIS checklist of pre-op assessements. He sets his standards high so that his patients have the best outcomes.

Dr. Mirza was great and he is awesome. He follows up with his patients and makes sure you can reach him via his cell phone. :P

I feel like I have received the best care ever by Dr. Christopher Reilly of West Houston Associates/True Results. You can search his video on you tube. I could just tell right away he was all about patient care and it has shown every step of the way.

I used Dr. Mirza and highly recommend him! He is very patient and goes out of his way to make sure your question are answered. I've had doctors that seem like the minute they step in the room they are ready to step out...not this guy!

My Doctor was Dr. Matthew St. Laurent. He was great and very confident in what he does.

I loved his confidence, I did not have any post op issues. he is located off of 290.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
