I know it is a life changing experience and truthfully its up to us to really decide whats best for us. In the Hispanic cultural we were taught to eat with tortillas as our forks and for 44 yrs thats all ive ever known, so unless u decide to change that homemade fork to a real fork and make it work in ur favor, that alone is a huge accomplishment:).

husbands and or wives are great support teams and are well needed. The thing about this site is we have all had the band or are waiting to get it. So we can help with questions that a partner can't. Sometimes the waiting game can be very long. Mine was 10 months, because of hospital take overs and my age.

I am so glad I have the band. Good luck.

Hello! I had my lap band back in June of this year and was done by doctor Wright thru True Results! My insurance asked for 3 weight ins before surgery! Started going in Feb, and lots 27lbs on my own before surgery! Last week I reached a total lost of 70lbs lost, so far im loving the results! This morning I saw my doctor and my labs look very good! He took me off the crestor for cholesterol and the metformin for diabetes its awsome! Best of luck!

Hey,hey,hey!!!! SA(San Antonio) in the house! I'm in San Antonio too at True Results! Call or text me at (Two-ten) 454- Thirtysix-Fifteen!

My insurance...no love there lol! So I am a stash the cash patient! Hope to have surgery some time in Jan.

I am with you Rose! I am not doing it to be skinny. I'm in my late 30's and my mother had her first heart attack in her late 40's. Getting asthma finally was the last straw. I don't understand your co-workers comment and thought she would be more understanding since she had a similar procedure. Interesting.

Hey!!! Love your post! I'll be 35 in March. I to see my mom struggling with her health and sadly her health is too bad for the Lapland. I'm not sure everything my insurance covers but feel blessed to have the benefits I do .... and save away girl that's pretty awesome your doing this all outta pocket! And yes I agree my "friend" should be more supportive we haven't talked since that happened and now she's coming around ... I can tell she wants to ask me if I'm gonna do it but my lips are sealed dont need that negative around me!

I was banded exactly one year and 2 days ago by Dr Carcamo in San Antonio through True Results. I have nothing but great things to say about both the surgeon and the staff at TR. So far I have lost around 100lbs in this year. For me I wouldn't take back my decision of getting banded because its a great tool to get your life back. I was weighing at my heaviest 270 lbs and im only 5'2. Needless to say I had no energy for anything. Im not going to lie and say its been easy but nothing is ever easy. Take the 6 mos of surgery prep and really think about why you want the surgery. I dont want to sound negative or anything but the lapband is a tool its not a get skinny quick scheme. If the tool isnt being used the right way it wont work. As long as you listen to the do's and don'ts and follow them you will be very successful. If you have any questions send me a message.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
