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

Follow up from my post: Dr Ballete did an excellent job on both of our surgeries. Hubby is 1 week post op and I am 2 days post op. He is an outstanding and knowledgeable surgeon and his staff is great.

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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
