That does not sit well for me. I do not think you should have to pay for anything. Is he affliated with True Results?

How is everyone doing this weekend

Welcome ! I'm really going to come Tuesday if I get off work in time.

Welcome. I was going to ask my surgeon about plication but I don't know why I decided not to.

What happens in those support meetings and where are they held at? Can I come if I haven't been banded yet ?

Im also getting banded in December. Good Luck and keep me posted on your journey !

my doc told me I could not have the v8 fusion only the v8 juice. i got all that information today at my pre op surgery appt where i actually talk to the surgeon. they gave me a list of do's and dont's and a menu.

Very! Only because it is surgery. Im also nervous about long term. Like what happens if you have the band for 20 yrs?

I'm just praying that my check gets here before my surgery day. Especially now I got myself so reved up for it to happen in December. Are you nervous

Yes Im self pay. Im waiting for a 401K check from an old job to come in to pay for the other half. I feel like it is taking forever.

are you self pay or insurance, if self pay did you use their financing option?

does the post op appointment take place on the 8th floor too

Mine is December 14. Im so pleased with them. I had my pre op today with Dr. Holis. I really like him

keep up the good work and good luck on your surgery

That shrinkyourself sounds interesting. Is it free? Phone or computer app ?

Anyone else a patient at the True Results place at Med Center. I am and I met the surgeon today and he was amazing. Any feedback or we can make this our own support group.

Thank you all for your post. That night I laid in bed and was thinking to myself about all the things you guys had mention. I started eating healthy and trying to eliminate carbs. I feel so much better and I want to continue to eat a healthy menu. Thank you all so much for feedback it truly made a difference.

Im in Galveston Island, Texas. I love it here. Just had my pre op surgery appt and it went well. I really like the surgeon. He answered alot of questions for me and I more convinced now that the band is right for me, How are you girls doing ?

My day is the 14th. Im going to day for my pre op appt and to meet my surgeon. I started trying some protein shakes to see which one I would like. So far the Isopure is good. I have been adding some sweet and low and fruit to it and taste alot better. So where are you ladies ?

Anyone else getting banded in December? If so lets keep in touch until our day.

You are so right carolina girl. Splurging is what made me fat and among other things. You dont know how much I needed that slap of realization.

Yes there is a pre-op diet. I was thinking about starting the diet during the week and having my weekends as my splurges until my two week pre-op gets here.

My surgery isnt til December. I'm totally beating myself up over this. I have actuallly gained more weight by just chowing down anything and everything I want. I need to stop the insanity !

Every since I have been serious about getting the lab band and even now that I have gotten my surgery day my eating is out of control. I have been eating everything in sight like I will never eat that deep dish pizza again. Is anyone else feeling this way or acted this way before your band? Can someone help me ?

I was under the understanding that protein makes you feel full longer. Carb turns to sugar making you want to eat more, crave more sugar since you burn it off more quickly.
