True results austin??



Recommended Posts

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:)

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?

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!

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 :-)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
