Dr. Alex Esquivel - Dr. Esquivel and True Results are top notch



Recommended Posts

I was banded by Dr Esquivel on Tuesday, Oct 18, 2011. I met him 2 weeks before and I felt that he was very informative to any questions. When he came in to talk to my husband and I, he was very intune to my other health insues before surgery. I have not had any problems so far and it has been 6 days since surgery. I had great nurses at St Davids South, in Austin Texas, they were very caring to anything I needed. I had to stay overnight because of insurance policy, but I felt that it was ok because it gave me time to adjust to moving around with the incisions and I got the rest I needed before going home. True Results in Austin has been very nice to me and my mentor Paul has kept me very informed to anything that I needed to know. So far since I started with True Results 6months ago I have lost a total of 23 pounds with 6 of those being since surgery 6 days ago.

If you just walk and try to stay as active as you can after surgery, with rest in between doing things. I feel that this has been the best joice that I have made.

Thanks to my support my husband, I could not do this without his support and help.

Good luck to everyone else who is having Dr Esquivel doing there surgery.

I'm am scheduled for surgery with Dr Esquivel on feb 24, actually me and my mm are going together, Avignon surgery back to back. We're out of Austin but driving to San Antonio for surgery at turning point center....

The experience has been great so far, love the staff at Austin office and paul has been great. Had an EGD with Esquivel 2 weeks ago and found him calming, caring, and reassuring.

I started with True Results Austin in Oct 2012. They guided me throught the hoop jumping to get insurance approval. My last consultation was on Jan 14, I got my approval letter Jan 22, and was banded on Feb 21.

Dr. Esquivel was great. Seems to be a sharp guy. Everyone at St. David's South was awesome. I was expecting a lot of hurry up and wait, this was not the case. Checked in about 815a, Registration done by 845. I was in a gown by 915 and knocked out before 10am. Home by 3pm.

You are in good hands. Dr Esquivel is great and I can't say enough about Paul and True Results. Love them.

I strongly recommend coming to the support group. Paul runs them, we meet at 6:30 on the 4th Thursday of the month.

Good luck with your upcoming surgery.

I had my EGD on 8/4 and surgery 8/5 thru True Results and Dr Esquivel. I have no complaints. I met the dr at pre-op meeting and before surgery. He was very nice and answered any questions that my hubby and I had. Everyone at TR has given me all the info and support I need. Once monthly (I think 4th Thurs of each month) the Austin office has a good support group. They meet from about 6:30-8 p.m. I would highly recommend TR. and Dr Alex Esquivel.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
