surgeon in Houston,tx



Recommended Posts

I feel the same way about true results, they were nice but not personable I did not meet my surgeon until the morning of my surgery and when I was having issues I was passed on to a nurse. They just lacked the personal attention you expect when having major surgery. Dr. Hollis was my Dr.

I used Dr. Alanis, he has been around awhile and had a great experience from the 1 visit on. I'm not sure how much he charges. He uses Bayshore and west Houston hospital I think. Hope that helps.

I went thru True Results but changed from Dr. Hollis to Dr. Christopher Reilly. I met Dr. Reilly during the PreOp appt, spoke on Endoscopy day, and right before Sleeve day. I watched his YouTube video and could just tell that he was in it for the patients. He has a wonderful bed side manner and took the time to answer all of my questions; luckily i switched from the band to the sleeve prior to surgery based on my conversation w him.

What ever you do DO NOT use Dr Spiegel. Biggest mistake my mother and I made in our lives! I'm I'm divorced and would still feel the doctor was biggest mistake lol. I was self pay too. I am now using UT physicians on bellaire. Seeing Dr Mehta, both Wilson's are great too!

Can I ask why? He is my doctor!

I looooved my surgeon! It was dr Matthew st Laurent located in cypress, tx. I drove about 45 mins just for him. He is totally worth it! I was also a self pay. He provides a nutritionist for you any time you feel you need her! His whole staff is amazing! I recommend him 100%!

      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.
