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?

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
