Hello I was just banded on the 13th. Was wondering if there were any others that want to join this journey with me that are local! Maybe we could meet up every so often to share success stories!

Very nervous my surgery date is March 7th with TR' date=' im still trying to figure out all that i need for post op. How are you?[/quote']

Very normal to be nervous ans what do u mean what u will need like to help u thru?

If so, a heating pad and gas x! It will do wonders!!! Also just stay reg on your pain meds for a few days and make sure u walk walk walk!

I'm doing well! Just had my 3rd fill 2 days ago. As of today I'm down 31lbs at little less than 3 months out from my surgery date! I'm pretty happy about that!

That's great! Congratulations on the weight loss. Yeah I have everything, but I'm just worried I'm going to miss something. I have a 2 story house I'm wondering if I'm able to go upstairs the day of surgery. Thanks for your help.

Thanks and that's good. Well if u are missing something I'm sure someone can go get it for u!

I was able to go up and down stairs when I had my full bladder removed which is essentially the same type of surgery. Just take it easy and make sure someone is with u BC u will be drowsy from the surgery.

How is everyone doing? I'm just wondering how everyone's experience was with TR of Scottsdale, and how is your recovery coming along? Im getting banded March 7th.

I went to true results in Scottsdale. They are super friendly. The only thing I didn't like and I'm sure its partially my fault but now that I looked back it was super rushed. I honestly didn't think I was going to get approved or thought I would have to pay a lot of money so I thought it was going to be a shot in the dark. From the time I inquired about it to the time of my surgery it was maybe 2 to three months. I didn't do much research. I felt they could of done more educating. I honestly had the wrong idea of going in. I take blame also. I thought it was going to do most of the work and I was completely wrong. I've had it for a year and a half and I started off with some really bad habits and I have learned to abuse my band and how to cheat it. I lost 60 lbs in the first few months but I still have lots to go and I'm at a halt and have been for awhile. But they are super friendly and its a really nice office. Good luck!!

I felt rushed as well, I was there on the 26th of Feb, and my surgery is March 7th. Im getting all my information from this site, and the book they gave me..I feel really overwhelmed, but trying to take it one step at a time.. I hope things work out for you, best of luck.

I had an wonderful experience with TR. The staff has been amazing. Recovery was easy. I second getting a heating pad and Gas X strips. If your bad about taking meds/vitamins like me lol. I use thw Alive adult gummies (they taste amazing) and the vitafusion calcium chews. And my Protein shake of choice is Premier Protein chocolate. Its normal to be nervous but you will be great!

I agree with the rushed feeling but I don't mind it. I went for my consult on 2/21 and I'm being banded 3/7 like a lot of you guys. I have been considering the band for years and had done my own research so I think that's why I don't mind the rush.

The staff at TR is all really nice but I remember feeling a bit odd at my consult with how fast the assessment by the NP went. Kinda odd for major surgery.

Had my preop appt today. The surgeon really isn't very chatty but as long as he knows what he's doing, no worries.

The book they gave me at the consult and the stuff they gave me today at the preop appt is all good info so I'll have to keep it handy.
