It's normal to be nervous. I was the same way as I was being wheeled into surgery I was second guessing myself. But things turned out fine. I have lost 20 lbs. since surgery. You will do just great. The surgery center at True Results has a wonderful staff. Very caring. Keep us posted on your surgery date.

I am using True Results and Dr. Riley was my dr. I have been really happy for the most part. I liked Dr. Riley...except that I only saw him immediately before my EDG and my actual band/hernia surgery. Once I've been banded I have not seen him again...instead I go the "clinic" and work with the nurse practioners--they are the ones who do the fills/unfills. I will warn you...that scheduling an appointment can be difficult...especially if you work and need an appointment after 3:00--they only do those on Thursdays. The amount of wait time is really crazy...I have waited up to an hour between the waiting room and in the individual "fill/adjustment" room. And...oh the traffic is horrid--especially if you happen to have an appointment on a day when there is a Texans game or if it's Rodeo time--my last appointment was the first pre-season Texans home game and it took me 2 hours to get back to Katy.

Don't get me wrong...I love my band and the ladies at the center are very nice. I figure that I can deal with the above if I can get healthier (and skinny too).

Are you a self pay? I've had my insurance checked by a company down here, and it wasn't covered. But I called True Results-Houston today and they said their insurance team know which questions to ask to make sure it's not covered. Only thing is I live in Louisiana so hopefully they allow me to travel there and have the surgery. They are about $4,000 cheaper than the companies here in Louisiana. The Houston location is only 3.5 hrs away.

I have insurance also but don't cover it. I hope they can find a way for my insurance to cover it. When we're you banded? Also, do you live in Houston?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
