Anyone banded by Dr. Provost in Denton



Recommended Posts

I am fixing to get banded soon. I was wondering if anyone has used Dr. Provost in Denton or Dallas area. I just want to know what you think of him and his staff.

Has anyone had any bad experiences or just all good. Let me know.

I am so sorry I didn't find your post earlier. I am using Dr. Provost, and I think he is wonderful. I first saw him a couple of years ago in Dallas, and I saw him in February of this year. I don't know his office help very well, but I do know about Dr. Provost. You could not ask for a better surgeon. He's been voted 1 of the best docs in TX every year for a long time now. My PCP here in Amarillo knows him and think he's the best there is. I did a lot of research on different doctors before I chose him. When he was at UT Southwestern in Dallas, he was the head of the bariatric practice, so I trust him totally. I have read a post from someone else who said they didn't like his insurance person nor his nurse, but I have barely met both of them. I hope this helps you.

Dr. Provost is a wonderful doctor and I would recommend him to anyone. HOWEVER, his staff is Awful! After 8 months of the run around with them, I finally had to go to a different surgeon. What they couldn't seem to get together has taken the new Doctor's staff less than 2 weeks to accomplish and I am scheduled for the 1st week of December.

Tdtucker...

I am so sorry that you had bad luck with Dr. Provost. I am so very happy with them. They always treat me with respect, and always happy to see me. I think I would talk to the office manager and let someone know.

      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.
