@llali82 I hated Dr Now office, and I hated his nurse even more. He is so slow and their office is so unorganized! My first visit with him was weird he came in asked me about my weight issues over the years and told me to read this packet everyday. He also performed my endo...they told me to arrive at the hospital at 6 he didn't show up until 11. I just didn't feel right with him!

Congrats also on your surgery, How are you doing?

Dr.Riley will be my surgeon. I've had a pretty good experience with with True Results this far. I'm glad to see that there are so many Houston ladies on this site!

I am using Dr Hollis and to be honest I haven't even spoke to him one on one yet, and my surgery is on Thursday. All my appts were through the PA, Beth. I did a group pre-op session where he came in for 3 minutes and left. I'm not entirely happy with that but still going through with it. I also can't get them to tell me a price yet. Very aggravating!

That the main reason I didn't go through with mine I call his office every day for abouts 3weeks asking about the price and they waited until three days before to tell me it would 750 and I had 2 days to pay the money I was like hell I have to pay rent how can I get 750 in two days

Congratulations on starting your journey. Dr. Hollis is AWESOME!!! While I am a bandster, I believe you will be happy with the treatment and placement of your sleeve. TR Houston is a great team of individuals. Good luck on your journey.

I'm so frustrated!!! For my last weigh in (2 of 4) I gained weight. I was on a new medication and weight gain was one of the side effects. I'm trying to get back down to my first weigh in weight but I'm having such a hard time! I'm so afraid that I'll be denied. I called my insurance company to ask about their requirements and was told that there isn't a weight loss requirement, but a BMI of >40 is required. Which I have and then some, but I'm still nervous.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
