Anyone have firsthand experience with True Results?

Yep, true results in Dallas. I am pleases with them but you either have to ask tons of questions or do your own research. They gave me a book but that's it. LBT is probably the best resource. Where are you located?

I'm in Wylie... I've done a ton of research already. I'm ready to go, just want to be sure i have not missed anything.

I'm in Rockwall! Let me know if you have any questions. PM me if you want. :-)

Yay! I'm so glad to know there is someone so close!

I'm on the schedule for THIS Friday! How did you do the first few days/weeks?

Anyone have firsthand experience with True Results?

True Results Downtown Houston. They are awesome and I'm happy I made that phone call in April...this band is the best thing I could have done for myself! They are very caring and supportive, I don't know of anyone that has gone through them that isn't satisfied with their care.

Good luck! I'm sure everything will go well for you. Who is your surgeon? Mine was Marsden. My first week was kind of tough. I would say many have it better than me and a few had a worse experience. The main reason is I don't think I was realistic before the surgery that there would be real pain/discomfort and a lot of it. Your ab muscles will hurt when you get up, cough, laugh, etc. Keep a pillow handy to hold against your stomach during those times. Nausea was bad for me right after surgery, on the way home, and the morning of the 3rd day. If they didn't give you anti nausea meds ask for them now. You may not experience nausea, but if you do you will need medicine. It really helps. The gas was bad from day 3 to maybe day 7. Walk a lot and use a heating pad. All the tricks you read on LBT really do help. Post any problems or just how you are feeling. It helps to know other people are or have gone through the same thing. After a week, you will (or should) feel like normal again.

My surgeon is Marsden as well! I have been going thru as many of the forum questions as possible before Friday. I'm not too worried about the pain. I have an extremely high tolerance, and I've had another laparoscopic procedure before for female stuff, plus two c-sections. Thanks for the tips!

Then you will do just fine with the pain. I never had surgery prior to banding so it was a rude awakening. Probably my biggest fear that first week was vomiting. I didn't want to mess up the band. Thankfully the meds worked and I never threw up.
