Does anyone have Dr Hollis in Houston as their doctor?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 8/26 and every time I call to ask about what I can eat during each diet phase I never receive a call back. The list he gave me, or the nurse practitioner, is very limited and doesn't really say anything! I went to my post op appt with the nurse practitioner and still no answers. Wondering if anyone already went through this and can give me some info or maybe has gotten some answers.. Thank you so much!

I am familiar with him but did not use him because of his bad reviews.

There was a girl who was on a thread i started a few days ago who did use him. Where were you sleeved SEM? If so can you contact the nutritionist?

I was sleeved at university general hospital.. He was recommended by both my gynecologist and primary doctor but I have seen him twice for a total of about ten mins.. I wish they could help me out because I'm scared to eat something I'm not supposed to.. so disappointed.. And to answer the other question about weight loss, my pre-op I lost about 19lbs and after surgery I am at a total of 18lb so total of 37lbs.. I feel hungry.. and all the weight is from everywhere except my stomach... my clothes are huge on my legs but still a little tight on my stomach.. I start my puree week monday.. not sure on what to eat :(

His office staff and especially Nurse Beth are the worst I have ever dealt with. I wish I would have known, I would have never used him. I would look for other options and NEVER put you health in the hands of anyone in Dr. Hollis' office, because once he is done with the surgery, that is the last you will see of him.

      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.
