I am getting my procedure done in 3 weeks on September 28th with True Results. I am a 28 year old female. I am looking for a Mentor or Buddy, or both to help be support and a friend through this time. I started my pre-op diet today.

Looking forward to chatting. :)

Hi, I'll be getting my band through True Results in S.A. too! I won't be able to get it until Jan '13. I believe Dr. Benevides will be my dr. How much longer until your surgery?

Hello there! I got my band through True Results Scottsdale, AZ on 6/26/12. Let me tell u they are wonderful! I researched this procedure for years prior and was actually going to do it thru another doctor/ facility (terrry Simpson) a couple years prior but they were no help with anything!! The insurance part I had to do all the work and the staff was just RUDE! Then I found true results what a difference Wow! Got my surgery covered in 6 months, they did all the work. The staff is Amazing! I hope u experience the same! Best of luck

Got banded yesterday and I am doing well. In pain but getting through it. Trying to figure out if I am hungry or if it is just a habbit thing. Figured it might take me a few days to get that straight. lol Overall though a good Surgery. :-)

That's good! How are you feeling? Are you able to eat anything yet? Do you feel any restriction?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
