OMG, I would never use them. My friend was sleeved on 1/2014 worst care ever!!

I used Dr Stephen Hamn at Plano of Presby when I was banded in 2005. I loved him and his staff.

I was banded at true results by Dr.B. My only issue is seeing different aftercare people every time you go. It's hard to build a relationship with them. All of my fills are covered for the first year.

I was banded at True results dr B also.. I was recommended by a friend that had phenomenal results.. I agree with the aftercare I was banded 12-12-13 and I don't like the inconsistency of the aftercare personell they all say different things.. I am down 20lbs though

I was banded at TR Richardson in June of 2013. I have LOVED my Aftercare - with one exception. There is one PA that is a small Asian gal. She is super sweet, but the two fills she gave me hurt like hell! I simply asked and they put a note in my file and I don't get her anymore. The other PA fills have been almost pain free.

In one year I've lost 178 pounds. They are always easy to get an appointment that fits my schedule. I would highly recommend their office.

If you have any other questions - let me know.

I was banded 12/26/13 at True Results with Dr. B. And I've lost 45 lbs. I love everybody. I see the same pa almost every time. I guess that's a coincidence. Insurance is covering everything. Highly recommend. They work with my night shift schedule and get me in early so I can go after work and get right home to bed. ❤️

I didn't have a post op appointment until I was 3 weeks out. I went for my 3 week appointment on Monday, got my first fill, and I'll be back in 2 weeks for my second fill.

I never even saw my doctor, just a nurse, then a nurse practitioner who did my fill.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
