What have you heard about Dr. Esquivel in Austin Texas???



Recommended Posts

Hello....That is who I have decided to go with... I was very skeptical at first of going through True Results, especially since I couldn't find a lot of information about the surgeon. I had this idea in my head that it was sort of a chop shop, like they get you in and out as quickly as possible and then drop you. My opinion has completely changed. I did some research here and through Google and the things that I did find on Dr. Esquivel were all positive. I also fell in love with the staff at the clinic. I also like the aftercare and support program that they offer. Everyone that I have encountered at the clinic has been really great and really helpful. They have answered all of my questions and taken as much time with me as I needed. I have scheduled surgery for May 5th and get to meet him on April 28th for my pre-op. At that time, if I do not like him or do not feel comfortable with him then I will cancel my surgery. I don't like the fact that I don't get to meet him until a week before the surgery but hopefully it will be ok. I would love to hear other peoples comments about him if you have them.

I am also going through true results. They are sending in my information to the insurance company on Wednesday and then I have to wait.... I got to meet him at the informational seminar, but have not seen very much information good or bad about him. I have my psych, sleep study, nutrition and EKG scheduled for April 21st. They said it would take about 3 weeks to hear back from the insurance company.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
