  1. I had my surgery on july 16 th of this year. Best decision i ever made. Have gone from 272 to 218. Feeling great and appreciative.
  2. I still get the left shoulder pain and i had my surgery on july 16 th. It happens if i eat too fast or dont chew well enough. I still havent quite gotten the slow down and chew good thing down yet but i am getting there. I have lost 40 pounds since surgery day and i am at 8.5 cc in a 14cc band, had 3rd fill.
  3. No neither, i live in blanco. But there is no big towns close to me so san antonio is the closest that i found. And i heard good things about true results.
  4. I had mine done at true results in san antonio. I was very pleased with the surgeon and the staff. I am still learning slowly how to eat with the lapband and not screw it up. I am still lost at times. I had my surgery on july 16th and have lost close to 40 lbs. Its going slow but i am pleased. Best decision i ever made. I go in for my third fill on october 21st. I think you will like true Results and the lapband.
  5. I had my surgery on july 16th. I went from 262 to 228 since then. I havent been back to my doc since september 9th. I dont go back till october 21st for my third fill. I am constantly worrying if i am messing up my band by eating too fast or too much, it has taken a little while to make myself slow down but i am getting it, i havent felt anything stuck or had any vomiting. I felt restriction after my second fill but dont feel it so much anymore, is this normal? I need ideas for meals also...help!!!!!
  6. It is amazing how great you start to feel after the surgery. I was skeptical too at first but it was the best decision i have ever made. I am 6 weeks post op and have lost 40 lbs. I feel better than i have in years. My kids are proud and my boyfriend is too. But to him it doesnt matter cause like you he has been with me from the start. Good luck to you and keep up the good work.
