Hello! My name is Kristyn. I'm 22 years old and I had my first consultation at True Results today. I'm excited! I'm at my highest weight (326 :/) so I have a lot to work for but I'm done with being like this. I've been lurking here for a few weeks and I really like it here.

Welcome to the board. There is a great deal of info to be had on this site. Make sure that you read the negatives as well as the positives on the board. I feel that I am better prepared for surgery by having an idea of what can go wrong, it gives me insight on what to look out for and what to avoid after surgery.

PS did you hear about the iBand at your consultation?

Hey there I was banded by True Results as well here in Houston by Dr. Chistopher Reilly on Dec 1, 2011. I liked the surgery center, it was located by the Relient Stadium, Thats were I will be getting my fills too...... on surgery day I was 215 now I am 198

Hello everyone...I am from Houston I am currently in month 2....4 months to go. I will.be banded by Dr. Reilly from True Results, however my insurance co requires that I have it done at a hospital, therfore it will be down at West Houston Hospital.

I was a lurker too! Glad you joined you'll find lots of good info and support.

Hi, and welcome. I have complete my 6 months at True Results and will be having my surgery at West Houston Hospital per my insurance, by Dr. Reilley. Starting pre-op diet tomorrow, the 6 months went by quickly, learn what you can. I lost and gained during that time just like before, hopefully the band is an excellent choice for me. I was also paranoid about going below my BMI, so I'm gonna try to lose 20 lbs on the pre-op diet, although I only have to lose 10 lbs for surgery. Goodluck on your journey.

The i am right at 35 bmi. Do u know if i fall below (my ins requires a minimum of 35) on my pre diet if i can still get lapband......i have cigna ins.

Good Morning...@ready4changein2011... I have the same requirements I will be following you on your journey. Do you have Blue Cross Blue Shield. The patient advocate advised me that I have to do the procedure at West Houston.. Do you know how long and if we have to stay overnight. Good Luck...and Congrats
