We'll today was very interesting. My appointment for my adjustment was for 6pm. I got off work early and went to True Results around 2pm to find out they closed early! The guy there gave me a number for corporate so I called them and they got me to the director at the location I was at and she was NOT happy. Apparently they were suppose to work a full day but the staff decided to leave early and not let their afternoon appointments know. So the director guaranteed I will be seen next Tuesday when it's convenient for me and gave me a $50 gift card for all the trouble I went through. I was really disappointed in what happened, but I think the director handled it well. I wouldn't want to be the staff when they go back on Thursday!

Oh man that sucks. I'm sorry they did that to you. I would of been pissed off. But glad the director handled that situation very well. So I go Friday, hopefully they feel my incision is healed enough so I can get my fill. It's actually doing better. Gotta say though that was very unprofessional for that office to do that to you. Their just making a bad name for true results.

Oh k so I had my doctors appointment today. Lost three pounds. The head nurse was pleased with my incision said it looked good. So she gave me my first fill. It fell really weird and hurt alil but I handled it. So far I'm doing pretty good. And of course started my liquid diet. I have a 10cc band. My surgeon put 3cc in it and true results just put in another 1cc.

That's great! Congrats! They put a lot of Fluid in your band during surgery. I had 1.5cc and they added another 1cc on my first fill so I have only 2.5cc. It's hard to go back to liquids but at least it's only for a couple days! I'm so happy for you! :D

I'm feeling fine. Yea I'm getting fuller alittle faster but not quite staying full. Getting hungry again around the 3 or 4 hour. So I guess I can say I have not reached my green zone. Good luck with ur fill.

I live in Jersey Village, TX and I have really been considering lap band surgery. I am 26 and 265lbs, I've tried everything diets and exercising but only lose about 10 pounds and gain it right back. I have been researching the lap band and it seems like a very scary fix for my problem. I am trying to find someone who maybe has been in a similar situation that could be a mentor or answer questions I have regarding pre op and post op and the procedure itself.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
