I was baned May 13, 2010. I have since lost 60 lbs and went from 3X to large or 16. Is this good? If you were banded in May, how are you doing???

Well I was banded May 13. I was at 240 and now weigh 203. I was beginning to feel alittle discourage because I have not lost weight in a few weeks. I went to the dr for a fill but when I told them that I was having sever shoulder pain when I eat they decieded I wait 2 more weeks for a fill. So I will go back on Sep 10. I am very happy with True Results. Everyone there is extemely nice and very helpful. It is nice to be able to talk to people that have gone with the same office and same dr. Keep in touch.

I was banded May 13. I went in for the Pre-Op on the day before, and asked to report to the Hospital at 7:30 am. I was not called in untill almost 10:00am. I started my Protein diet 2 weeks before at 240 and on Surgery day I was 223. Nurse started the IV, gave me a shot of anticlog med., put on leg massagers and was taken in for surgery at about 11:00 am. Next thing I remember I was in recovery being to move from bed to a recliner. I was taken for the x-ray and asked to go to the restroom and given a sip of juice. I was given instructions to go home and was discharged at 2 pm. The first 3 days were the hardest in the sence that it was so hard to get in and out of bed and out of chairs. I did not have problems with the shoulder pain, Thank God. But gas was some what uncomfortable. I am still on liquids. I've been having cream soups. I put them in the blinder and use water instead of milk and it does the job. I do get full very quick. I am not able to eat nearly as much as before. I went back to work yesterday and by noon I was tired and very sore. I got home at 3pm took med and slept until this morning. So all seems to be going good. My coworkers say that they are able to see a big difference already. I have not actually weighed myself yet, but I did notice some shirts fitting a little lose. Did anyone have surgery on the same day or close enough that can share their experience with me?? Good luck to all.:laugh:

I finally got my surgury date. May 13 at 1pm. I have been on the pre-op diet since last week but I ate Saturday and Sunday, and begun again faithly on Monday. I have lost 5 lbs. I was actually to fit into a blouse I had not worn in along time because it was too tight. This really made me feel good. I am happy now to see some results. How is everyone else doing????:thumbup:

I am a patient at True Results in Houston. I had my pre-op on April 23. I am waiting for Surgery Date. I have called Dr's office since appointment and no date yet. I am a little anxious. I was not sure when to start my pre-op so I started Tuesday. But I was not given an offical diet. So I am following what I hear from you all. I am getting a little discouraged. :smile:

I started the Pre-op diet on Tuesday, I have not yet been scheduled for surgury, but I know it will be the week of May 10 or 17. I have not been able to talk to any one at the Dr's office to get the acurate diet so I have doing what I have read here. But I am hungry. Does anyone have any ideas as to what eat in between meals to keep you satified? Please help with any advice that you would like to share with me. Thanks :smile:

I just meet with Dr. Hollis @ True Results. He truely is great. He explains everything very well. Answered all my doudts. I have to call his office on Monday to schedule surgury. I am guessing that it will be very close to 2 weeks plus. I am going to start my Protein diet this weekend. I am excited and scared at the same time. Anyone else seeing Dr. Hollis???

:thumbup: Hello, well I call my insurance company today and I was told that I was approved. I called the Dr's office to verify that they have rec'd the approval and they have. I am then scheduled for the pre-op with the Dr for tomarrow afternoon. Does anyone know what follows from here?

Well seems your day is tomorrow. I am so excited for you and wanted to wish you well. Keep me informed on your surgury and recovery. Best of luck.

How are you feeling? How has your recovery been?

Good luck. When is your surgery?

Savanna, I haven't heard from you in a while. How is your recovery going? How are you? Send me an update.

Congrast!!!! So how long did it take for your Dr's office to submit your paper work to your insurance company???
