has or is anyone getting their surgery done at true result in Houston TX



Recommended Posts

I am just curious for those of you who have had the surgery at True Results in Houston Texas, after you have your surgery do we have to go back many times like for the post op or any visits afterwards. I live 2 hours away so I am just wondering about how many times I will be looking to drive back and forth after my surgery.

I was banded there in July. Dr. Hollis suggest we go once a month for first year, after we are banded. That's when they do your fill and over all check up. Before I was banded I went 4 times, first consult, 2nd blood work and their tests, 3rd met the surgeon (dr. Hollis), and 4th surgery. I hope this helps!

Im having my surgery there 10/27 with dr. reilly and they told me the same thing, once a month for a full year and then about 2xs/year after that. Hope this helps and best of luck to you!

I was banded June 20 2011 by dr Reilly at true results in Houston. I went for pre-op, surgery, and now go monthly for fills. I've only seen the doctor during Pre-op and surgery but not since, only the nurse and/or PA for fills. I'm at 4.9 cc so far and hoping that my visit next week gets me closer to the green zone.

Plan on going at least every 4-6 weeks post op. And make your fill appointments in advance! They only stay late on thursdays and those spots after 3:00 fill up fast! I already have my November appointment and will make my December appointment this week when I go.

Good luck, keep me posted!!

thank you all so much for the advice. My surgery is scheduled for 10/28 and I already have the nervous jitters. I didnt know I would be going once a month after surgery for the first year but the 1 and a half hour drive will be worth it in the end I guess. Good luck in your progress hope to be in your shoes soon!

      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.
