Any Houston TX sleevers.. Who's your surgeon?



Recommended Posts

I did my research.. My Ob-gyn and my primary doctor both suggested Dr. Hollis in the Houston area. They said he was the best. Trying to go directly through him never happened. His schedule is so tight and I could get no appt. So I decided to go through true results. The day I went to true results I had 80% of what I needed done. In one day. It was so fast. After they sent the case to dr Hollis' office it just became a waiting game. I called them almost every day. I met the nurse practitioner for about 20 mins in a group meeting about 2 wks before my surgery, then that same day I met the dr. In the same group meeting for about 10 mins. I didnt see him again until the day of the surgery for about 5 mins and that was it. Everyone talks about having a NUT.. I don't think I have one! Everytime I have questions I have to call the nurse practitioner and like she stated the day we met, "Don't call me over silly stuff!" .... So I try not to call.. I wonder if it would have been different If I went directly through him..

Dr. Bonner in Katy has been taking care of my Husband. He works at Memorial Hermann Memorial city. He took my husband in after he had a complication from his sleeve in Mexico. What a dedicated meticulous man! I spoke with all the nurses and even anesthesiologists who jave worked with him and they all say the same thing. He is dedicated, very particular about his method, and thorough. I have five kids and am happy to know I have such a doctor working on my husband. Btw...Marvin, Ponce, TLC wouldn't even talk to me when I called to see if they could help my hubby. He was hospitalized for over 51 days...Dr. Bonner was the first to take the time and help.

Sleeved on 9/11, exactly two weeks ago. EXTREMELY HAPPY with TLC and Dr. Scarborough. Even better is University General Hospital on Fanin. That hospital has 70 beds and very patient-oriented care. Amazing hospital.

Dr. Darry Meyer in Lufkin, is a rock star ! I realize that is a 2 hour drive for some of you, but he and his team are on top of everything. His coordinator sent my paperwork in to BCBS Texas the day I finished my required 3 month waiting game, which made me get approval 7 days later. Awesome staff, and Dr. Meyer is well known for his expertise.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
