@llali82 I hated Dr Now office, and I hated his nurse even more. He is so slow and their office is so unorganized! My first visit with him was weird he came in asked me about my weight issues over the years and told me to read this packet everyday. He also performed my endo...they told me to arrive at the hospital at 6 he didn't show up until 11. I just didn't feel right with him!

Congrats also on your surgery, How are you doing?

Dr.Riley will be my surgeon. I've had a pretty good experience with with True Results this far. I'm glad to see that there are so many Houston ladies on this site!

I am using Dr Hollis and to be honest I haven't even spoke to him one on one yet, and my surgery is on Thursday. All my appts were through the PA, Beth. I did a group pre-op session where he came in for 3 minutes and left. I'm not entirely happy with that but still going through with it. I also can't get them to tell me a price yet. Very aggravating!

That the main reason I didn't go through with mine I call his office every day for abouts 3weeks asking about the price and they waited until three days before to tell me it would 750 and I had 2 days to pay the money I was like hell I have to pay rent how can I get 750 in two days

Congratulations on starting your journey. Dr. Hollis is AWESOME!!! While I am a bandster, I believe you will be happy with the treatment and placement of your sleeve. TR Houston is a great team of individuals. Good luck on your journey.

I'm so frustrated!!! For my last weigh in (2 of 4) I gained weight. I was on a new medication and weight gain was one of the side effects. I'm trying to get back down to my first weigh in weight but I'm having such a hard time! I'm so afraid that I'll be denied. I called my insurance company to ask about their requirements and was told that there isn't a weight loss requirement, but a BMI of >40 is required. Which I have and then some, but I'm still nervous.

      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.
