Good Morning, Quick Question please...I'm new and if I'm repeating myself I do apologize.

I'm in Houston and my Dr. has recently retired.

I need to have my band looked over. Suddenly I am fighting acid reflux, yes I'm taking Zantac and chilling on the spices, acidic foods.

However I have no clue why this was triggered. Also I need to get it X-rayed, its been awhile.

I've called a few places and they act as if I'm an alien because that Dr. didn't band. Or they want to sell me a service.

Rather sad, called True Results where I had it done but they seem not to be able to help me.

Suggestions pleaseee ???

Why can't True Results help you?

First, I'd check to make sure your insurance provides bariatric coverage? If it does, most insurance carriers have a search engine you can search for docs who provide bariatric services.

We had a doc retire here a few years ago and he gave all his patients to another doctor. Check on this with your doctors office?

You may also have to be a little pushy with True Results and demand to talk to the office manager or medical director? Good luck.

Are you, in Houston?
Dr. Spiegel 5373 w. Alabama. It's the people that work there. Lazy. I had to do my research and found out my refills were covered after all by my insurance.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
