I was banded on 2-23-2010 by Dr. Esquivel and it went great. He is a great doctor, and i have had not complications..

He is used out of True Results, and they are also great. I love the staff there, and Jo - my advocate , kept me informed the whole time.

i highly recommed True Results and Dr. Esquivel.

Dr Esquivel is great, have you had the pre-op appointment with him? he will answer any questions.

also he comes in before the surgery and talks to you, very calming. I have no complaints, i have lost 25 lbs so far!!

make sure to walk, walking really helps the healing.

Does True Results in Austin do Single Incision Lap Band surgery? They seem like the most economical option, but I can't find info on their website about the actual procedures they perform.

[mint2bskiny 4]

No i have 5 incisions but they are tiny and will dissaper fast

Hello,

I was banded by Dr. Esquivel on 4/20 and after surgery was in horrible pain! Much more than I expected being that I was continously told this was a minimumly invasive surgery and I could be back to work in a few days. I live an hour and a half away from Austin so with the pain and complications I was feeling, my family expressed concern about sending me home that same day, in case of emergency. Needless to say I was released send home and EMS was at my home an hour after I got there, do to me not being able to breathe and the unbearable pain. I was transported to SAMC the next day @ Dr. Esquivels request and spent the next 4 days there. Dr Esquivel swore to my family that this had never happened before and he was in wonderment what had gone wrong. Upon my release I learned that there was another individual that had been banded on the same day, that was also admitted due to complications. As of now I am still in extreme pain and experiencing difficulty breathing. If I was asked at this point if I would endure this process again, my answer would be NO, that may change in 6 months but as of now that is my answer. I feel as though I may have chosen the wrong surgeon, I met the Dr. 2 weeks before surgery and the day of for a 5 minute conversation where he seemed as though he had a million other places he'd rather be than spending time answering my questions or calming my fears. NOT IMPRESSED with Dr. Esquivel..period. It was a very unpersonal experience and to this day have not recieved any phone call or email from him or his nurse asking how I was doing. He does 10 a day, your in and your out!

As for the True Results team in Austin...These are the most exceptional people I have ever come across! My patient advocate is Paul and he is nothing short of an Angel in my fight to have this surgery. It is very disheartening that this office staff are such wonderful caring people and then have a surgeon who you are just a number!
