I know this is a shock to most but I am not the best at finding my way around. I hope this hasnt been asked before. I am scheduled for April 14th. I have not had the opportunity to talk to anyone that has used them but at the consultation it was packed and they say he does nothing but lap band surgery. Not sure of the spelling but the Doctors name is Dr. Nirmul at True Results in Scottsdale, AZ

I Went To Dr. Debarros In Tempe. I Was Banded In Oct. 07 And I Have A Friend Who Had It Done In Dec. 07. Both Of US Have Had A Very Good Experience So Far And Good Results. I Have Not Heard Of The Dr. You Mentioned. You Could Ask His Office For References Of Clients Who Have Had Lapband With Him.

Good Luck To You! This Surgery Will Change Your Life! I Only Wish I Had Done It Sooner!

Thank you, I went for my pre-op yesterday and I met someone who had surgery last Friday and I met someone who is having surgery on the same day as I am at the same hospital. Who knows maybe we will be roommates for the night.

I went to their seminar last year and went for the consult with the Drs. in their Sun City location. I am currently jumping through the hoops wih insurance. I wondered how many bands he had done because I think that's all he does. Good luck to you.

Hi!

I just was banded by Dr. Nirmul on 3/27. I found him to be pleasant, but rather tight-lipped! I have spent about a total of four minutes with him in total the two times I've seen him. I didn't really have any questions for him, having done a lot of research and work already, so we didn't speak much. Anyway, all's well so far, minus some pain on the port incision. I'm not as hunched-over today (thankfully - this is my first day back at work and I didn't want to walk in like someone's babushka...)

Overall, the office staff is great. I do have issues with the "advocate" that I spoke with. On a few occasions I did have some questions for her and she never got back to my email and voicemail, I always had to call her back again and get her on the phone.

By the way, if you have to have stress tests done and they send you to Heartcare, it is a terrific office! The staff there was beyond helpful and pleasant and made me feel at ease.

Best of luck!!!!:unsure:

I had surgery with dr nirmul on 2-25-08 and he was great, I had to call him a few times and he is GREAT and returning phone calls on off times...saw him yesterday as a matter of fact.

I haven't had problems with his office so far, and I was also sent to heartcare and you are right they are the BEST doctors office I have EVER been too, very comforting and helpful.

They were really good about fitting me in a tight schedule. At first we were all operating under the assumption that I could have my stress tests at True Results - but after a few kerfuffles it was discovered that it wasn't true afterall. At that point I had two weeks to complete all the stress tests. The tests were at odd times, and I didn't get to choose, but they got me in!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
