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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
