Has anyone used Dr Ricardo Bonner in Katy TX? I am trying to find a good doctor in the west houston area. I am also considering self pay so that I dont have to jump thru insurance hoops . Please let me know if you have any advice or info about doctors . :thumbdown:

Hi. I live in Albuquerque New Mexico and no one here does Lapband surgery. I flew to Houston to have my surgery done. I went to True Results and Dr. Ken Hollis did my surgery. I am so happy that this is where my weight loss journey lead me. Dr. Hollis has been great and the staff at True Results have been helpful, kind, and supportive. I am coming back to Houston this Wednesday for my 4th fill. I paid for my surgery because like you, I did not want to go through the insurance hoops. The surgery/aftercare package that I got at TR was a good deal. So I got great care AND a good deal - who could ask for anything more? Good luck to you. Becky

I went to Dr. Bonner's Seminar a few weeks ago. I thought he was ok, he seems like a dr that likes facts and statistics. i have made an appt to see him for consultation next week . I hope it all works out, I really feel like this is my last shot at being healthier.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
