Hi guys! I'm new here and looking to make some friends! I start my Pre Op diet tomorrow, another appointment on Monday to finish lab work and we're scheduling my surgery date then as well! I'm getting banded by Dr. Reilly in Houston, Texas from True Results! I'm extremely excited to say the least! I can't wait to be a big fat loser! =P I can't stop thinking about what I want to wear when I hit my goal! I miss shorts and tank tops REALLY BAD! Lol! I'd love to be back in sports and to be able to keep up with my daughter! Man! Makes me happy just thinking about it! A local buddy would definitely be twice as awesome! I'm 23 and currently a stay at home mommy of an awesome 2 year old little girl! Either way, I've been snooping on these forums for a few days and all of you seem like the people I need to be around right now! I'm avoiding telling most people because I don't feel like dealing with negative ones! I'll be on tomorrow! Goodnight guys!

Welcome to LBT...this is a great resource and can really help you stay motivated...

Im north of Houston... Woodlands area. Im so excited as i await my surgery date too! Im going to dr spiegel. I look in my closet and get very excited knowing ill get to visit all these old friends again, hopefully sooner than later!

good luck to you and welcome, my biggest goal that I met was to cross my legs, funny how the small stuff makes you happy like tank tops ect.

Congrats you guys! @Lassie, that's awesome! I'm looking forward to the health change, but oh man the small things are all I can think about! Less chafing on my thighs! Haha

I just changed to Dr Reilly. Just called insurance and found out I was approved; anxiously waiting for True Results to call for confirmation ad get me scheduled.

Dr. Reilly did my surgery also and he's very helpful. Explained everything.

I have my last appointment with my surgeon on Wednesday and then surgery on the 11th....Aahhhh, I can't wait, I am so excited! Congrats on your decision to get banded!!!

I'm from Florida

I've been thinking of lapband since my cousin had it done a year ago

I decided to try

Went to seminar in June

Insurance won't pay

Borrowed from my 401k

And I'm on my way

(hmm kinda turned poetic)

But it's been that fast

I'm scheduled for Sept 20th

Can't wait to walk without pain!!

I love this group

Tons of help

Good luck everyone !!!

Yayyy! I like seeing more people with Dr. Reilly! I couldn't find any reviews on him until I got on here! I was scared of having him as my surgeon at first, but now not so much! =)

Had my band implanted 9/20

I'm in much more pain than I expected

Hope this will be worth it

I was also banded on 9/20... The pain that I feel is coming from gas in my left shoulder

I have my follow up appointment on Tuesday

I have severe heart burn

I took milk of magnesia and finally went to the bathroom

Water even gives me heartburn and the protien shake kill me. Needless to say I am weak from not eating.

I'm going to the Dr tomorrow.

Hope he can do something

I wonder if I did the right thing getting banded!

Did your heartburn get better ? I'm having a hard time with it right now
