Anyone from true results have a psychological test. Or get a Nutritionist(NUT). If so at what point. I'm 3 weeks away from surgery and I haven't heard or been thru half the pre-op steps others have.

I am going through True Results. I had my first appointment (I have 6 month wait) June 16, 2015 and my second appointment was July 16, 2015. I had my second weight loss appointment and psych eval on the same day. I had a 20 minute phone conversation with a nutritionist. Have you talked with your Advocate?

I went to True Results in Plano Monday. I am going to do the hiatal hernia route (or try). I am concerned that I haven't gotten to meet the Dr. What if I don't like him? I requested Nicholson I'm also concerned that you don't have to any of the consults that other Dr.'s require. The nutritionist is now a phone call. Isn't that education and a psychiatrist/psychologist eval a big part of changing our bad behaviors? Don't get me wrong, I like them, just wanted to here your opinions. Also how long should it take to get my actual appt with the surgeon?

I didn't have those services as well. I do believe that's offered only under the WLS. Sense we are getting a hernia removed it wouldn't be a need for a NUT/psychological evel.Thus you have that price. If you read on here further you we see what I'm talking about. They give you a folder with what's need...again keeping that price low and you an opportunity to have your surgery:)

Not sure what you are paying for your program, but I used Dr Kim and he has a Hiatal Program too for $4900. I have a ton of friends who have done this program and are extremely happy. Your very first visit with them involves meeting Dr Kim and meeting with your one and only bariatric coordinator. You only have one person to call for your questions. She will then go over the cash agreement and set up the EGD, Cardiac testing, sleep study and nutrition class. Its a true class with other patients, not a phone call. Cardiac testing is in depth. Dr Kim is very thorough with his patients lives. He truly cares. The staff is very friendly and care about you too. They offer amazing life long after surgery support to help you be successful. Good luck to your journey! :)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
