vmarlau 207 Posted September 9, 2012 I used them. I had my surgery on August 13th. My surgeon was Dr. Wilkenfeld. I'm going to Dr Reilly on South Main in Houston ....don't have a date yet but they assure me it was going to be in September all I need is to compleat a sleep study I'm nervous =} Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lrhodes46 55 Posted September 9, 2012 It's normal to be nervous. I was the same way as I was being wheeled into surgery I was second guessing myself. But things turned out fine. I have lost 20 lbs. since surgery. You will do just great. The surgery center at True Results has a wonderful staff. Very caring. Keep us posted on your surgery date. 1 vmarlau reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brlgirl 112 Posted September 10, 2012 I am using True Results and Dr. Riley was my dr. I have been really happy for the most part. I liked Dr. Riley...except that I only saw him immediately before my EDG and my actual band/hernia surgery. Once I've been banded I have not seen him again...instead I go the "clinic" and work with the nurse practioners--they are the ones who do the fills/unfills. I will warn you...that scheduling an appointment can be difficult...especially if you work and need an appointment after 3:00--they only do those on Thursdays. The amount of wait time is really crazy...I have waited up to an hour between the waiting room and in the individual "fill/adjustment" room. And...oh the traffic is horrid--especially if you happen to have an appointment on a day when there is a Texans game or if it's Rodeo time--my last appointment was the first pre-season Texans home game and it took me 2 hours to get back to Katy. Don't get me wrong...I love my band and the ladies at the center are very nice. I figure that I can deal with the above if I can get healthier (and skinny too).

ladymarshall 61 Posted September 10, 2012 I'm going to Dr Reilly on South Main in Houston ....don't have a date yet but they assure me it was going to be in September all I need is to compleat a sleep study I'm nervous =} Are you a self pay? I've had my insurance checked by a company down here, and it wasn't covered. But I called True Results-Houston today and they said their insurance team know which questions to ask to make sure it's not covered. Only thing is I live in Louisiana so hopefully they allow me to travel there and have the surgery. They are about $4,000 cheaper than the companies here in Louisiana. The Houston location is only 3.5 hrs away. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
