Injury is really tasty. I also heard protein blitz by designer whey makes a grape flavor that is good -

Hey Vhoke1, I'm having my surgery on the 5th of Nov. with Dr. Marsden, but my roommate is using Dr. Jayseelan, can I ask about your experience with Dr. Jayseelan? Was the hospital comfortable? Also, did your surgery go well?

I saw that Unjury has a sample pack of 5 flavors and a shaker container and a food thermometer for $21.95. I think that's a great deal. -

Has Anyone Used True Results In Dallas W/dr. John Marsden?
Bluejean replied to mufasas-mom's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I am set to have surgery with Dr. Marsden on the 5th. I didn't get to meet with him, but I met with his assistant Jodie. I feel very comfortable with them. -
Still Have Until Nov 7Th But So Excited

My surgery date has been set to Nov 5th! I totally understand what you mean. I'm excited AND nervous! I've been spending my days looking up protein shakes. Good luck on your surgery. -
I got my surgery date! November 5th. I'm both nervous and excited. I didn't get to meet with Dr. Marsden because he had to run to surgery. I met with Jodi, his assistant. I thought she was really nice and personable. She took the time to answer all of my questions. I was very surprised to hear that I didn't have to take a day off of work to get the endoscopy done before surgery. That was a pleasant surprise.

That's awesome to hear! Good luck with recovery.

Hi Ready, Good luck with your surgery! I hope you have a speedy recovery. I see Dr. Marsden tomorrow, and hopefully, we'll set a surgery date!

Not yet, I meet with Dr. Marsden on the 6th, and at that time, I'm having my labs done. I also decided that I wanted to take their nutrition class on the same date. Amanda was saying that I can realistically have my surgery by the end of September.

After reading your post, I checked in the member's portal. Baylor of Plano is a Center of Distinction. When Amanda found out what my insurance was, she told me she was having me meet with Dr. Marsden, because he practiced in my network. I didn't even know about Dr. Marsden at the time, I thought I only had Dr. Beinvenides or Dr. Fox to choose from. Please don't give up, and double check with your patient advocate. I have a pdf file that shows all of the centers of distinction if you can't get into your member's portal. Let me know, and I can email this to you, Keisha. I really hope you get your surgery soon.
-
Hey Keisha, Did you ask them about using Baylor in Plano? Dr. Marsden practices at that hospital, and I have BCBS as well. I'm told that Baylor of Plano is in my network, but now, I'm going to double check. Don't give up!

When I talked to the patient advocate, Amanda, she was saying that the sleeve is more preferrable to doctors because they do not have to invest the time into after care, that you have a few follow up visits, but basically they don't need to keep seeing you to make adjustments like the band. They didn't try to talk me out of the sleeve, they were just upfront that the band is what they specialize in. I can't wait to meet Dr. Marsden on the 6th to ask some more questions too as well.

Thank you (all) for all of the information. It's very helpful when making a decision. I wish you all good luck and good health.
