Good Morning, Quick Question please...I'm new and if I'm repeating myself I do apologize.

I'm in Houston and my Dr. has recently retired.

I need to have my band looked over. Suddenly I am fighting acid reflux, yes I'm taking Zantac and chilling on the spices, acidic foods.

However I have no clue why this was triggered. Also I need to get it X-rayed, its been awhile.

I've called a few places and they act as if I'm an alien because that Dr. didn't band. Or they want to sell me a service.

Rather sad, called True Results where I had it done but they seem not to be able to help me.

Suggestions pleaseee ???

Why can't True Results help you?

First, I'd check to make sure your insurance provides bariatric coverage? If it does, most insurance carriers have a search engine you can search for docs who provide bariatric services.

We had a doc retire here a few years ago and he gave all his patients to another doctor. Check on this with your doctors office?

You may also have to be a little pushy with True Results and demand to talk to the office manager or medical director? Good luck.

Are you, in Houston?
Dr. Spiegel 5373 w. Alabama. It's the people that work there. Lazy. I had to do my research and found out my refills were covered after all by my insurance.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
