Just got back from my initial consult and meeting with the nurse at True Results in Houston. Everyone there was really nice and helpful. Cindy, my advocate/counselor, gave an in-depth overview of what the lapband surgery was like and answered every question I and my hubby asked. Every person I met with (counselor, nurse, and nurse practitioner) had been banded and had experience phenomenal results. No one, of course, ever regretted making the decision to get banded.

I had to have an EKG because my BMI is greater that 40. Mine is 40.2! No blood work is necessary because it just so happens that my pcp did lab work on me last week during an annual physical. Since I'm paying out of pocket, this saves me $150.00.

I'm going with Dr. Spivak. He's been doing lapband surgeries longer than anyone in Houston and haven't heard anything negative about him at all!

I am a patient at True Results in Houston. I had my pre-op on April 23. I am waiting for Surgery Date. I have called Dr's office since appointment and no date yet. I am a little anxious. I was not sure when to start my pre-op so I started Tuesday. But I was not given an offical diet. So I am following what I hear from you all. I am getting a little discouraged. :smile:

      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.
