I am right there with u. I lurked here got months and now I'm finally going through with the process ,

What was your starting weight? You are already there? Wow!!!!

Yayyyyyy!!!! Congratulations

I come on here to get information and inspiration! I never thought I would be considering surgery to lose weight. I feel more at peace than I ever have felt. I know this is what i need to move this new chapter in my life. I only have 2 more nutritional appts. I can't wait to get my surgery date . I daydream abt what I would look like 125lbs lighter. I'm praying to God to prepare me for this journey.

That is fantastic!!!! Way to go...

I am using TR Houston. I have an EGD on Monday and and start preop on March 11th and surgery on March 28. I felt the same way when I walked out of the office like OMG what did I just get myself into. I was/am a bit freaked out, but I know I am doing it to improve my health and I will be better off in the long run. I had a friend who went to them last summer and has had a good experience and that is why I chose them. Who will yall's surgeons be? Mine is Dr. Reilly.

Molly, I said the exact same thing. It was so much in an hour. I have been thinking about it since. But no need to wait, I'm doing this for myself n my family. Lets keep in touch

Hey Everyone! I am here in Texas and just ran with my sister in her first 5K it was awesome. We have lost a combined 500 Pounds and life is NEW

I went on to True Results in Houston today! I didn't know what to think going in. I thought I was just getting more information. Granted, I have been researching this for over 6 months. Well I am on my way. My 2nd nutrition appt is next week. My surgery date could be as soon as April 2013. I froze. I need this . Had a hospital scare this weekend. This weight has gotten out of control. I want to feel better and not drag all this weight around. No one knows but my husband and I want to keep it like that. Because everybody will tell me how I can do it on my own. I'm ready! I have to come up with this $5k deductible...... Trust me I will do it ! I'm proud that I'm ready .

Way to go! So proud of you. U r on your way.

Please eliminate the word "just" from your mind and vocabulary when placed in front of life altering 94 lbs lost please : )

I'm keeping it to myself as we'll. I will only tell my mom because I have never had surgery before. Plus she is a praying woman so I know I need her there. I'm not telling her until close to my date because she won't understand. But my husband is in support 100percent. He wants to be at every dr appt. Sometimes the less people that know the less opinions they have. Then you have to watch out for the haters. The ones that will discourage you because they want you to stay fat. I'm planning my surgery during some vacation days and using gall bladder surgery as well..

Thanks for the encouragement! What type of fitness did you include for these results?

No need to be scared. The only pain I really had was gas. My actual incisions never hurt. After two days, I didn't even take the pain medicine. I'm still new to this but would like to have a lapband buddy. My email is jcrisp0407@yahoo.com.

Hello everyone,
I finally have my insurance and I am in the process of finding a bariatric surgeon. Well I decided to confide in my friend and she just told me all of the negative things she has heard about the lapband. She said everyone she knows that have had the surgery has had problems. She told me she thinks I can do it myself.she said I may just have too much going on which is making me stress eat. She suggested me going to see a nutritionist. It made me confused kinda. But I'm going with my heart and continuing the journey. I have been on this site for 6 months and have been doing my due diligence in finding out all the information on this procedure. Please give me words of encouragement. By the way I made an appt with a bariatric dr for feb. 28 th.
I know I will be on a 3 month supervised diet. Do people change their minds?
