I have just scheduled my consult and starting the whole lap band process. I was just wondering if anyone has used true results in Austin tx and what your thoughts are? It's looking like I have financing in place and I'm getting excited. I have 70 lbs to lose, any advice is welcome:)

I used true results austin , I have been band since feb 2009 . Really great people there

Thanks! They seem really nice so far. How was your follow up care and has the band worked out for you?

The follow up care as been really good. They really stay on you to eat right which help me a lot , the lap band has work for me , I used to weigh 408 pounds has of right now I weigh 272 . 82 pounds away from my goal ....

That's awesome! Great job. I have tried every diet known to man and can't get the results or stick to it. After 3 kids I'm just tired of being unhealthy and overweight. Do you have scarring from incision sight?

Thank you , it's been a lot a work , but it has been worth it , .... Yes I have a few small scars and then one big where my port sitting . I can hardly see them now ... I would take a bath with liquid vitamin E , it help a lot

I also use True Results Austin. Nothing but praises for them. They are the best.

They have a support group that meets once a month on Thursday nights. The next one is this Thursday at 6:30pm. I would recommend coming.

Hope to see you on Thursday.

I feel comfortable with them. I would love to try a support group but I have little ones and live an hour from Austin:(

Another question, how long did it take from consult to surgery? I already have the financing figured out.

I was self pay and my surgery was 3 weeks after consult. It depends on the schedule but Paul will get you scheduled as soon as you are ready.

Good luck, you are in good hands!

I'm getting banded on my bday 8/29, working w/True Results Austin!

i go to true results Austin, im getting surgery aug. 13th. love them they have made these months fly by

Hi kjakaty, I'm really excited for you since you aren't going the insurance route, it should be fairly quick from consults to surgery. Since you can't make the group meetings in your area there are some fantastic groups on Facebook ... I'm a member of 'Lapband support' on FB and these are just ordinary people who are pre and post op who share their stories with each other. The support is amazing and there is always someone who can relate to where your are in your journey. It's a very active group and there is a wealth of knowledge among the 600+ members

The best of luck to you :-)
