We'll today was very interesting. My appointment for my adjustment was for 6pm. I got off work early and went to True Results around 2pm to find out they closed early! The guy there gave me a number for corporate so I called them and they got me to the director at the location I was at and she was NOT happy. Apparently they were suppose to work a full day but the staff decided to leave early and not let their afternoon appointments know. So the director guaranteed I will be seen next Tuesday when it's convenient for me and gave me a $50 gift card for all the trouble I went through. I was really disappointed in what happened, but I think the director handled it well. I wouldn't want to be the staff when they go back on Thursday!

Oh man that sucks. I'm sorry they did that to you. I would of been pissed off. But glad the director handled that situation very well. So I go Friday, hopefully they feel my incision is healed enough so I can get my fill. It's actually doing better. Gotta say though that was very unprofessional for that office to do that to you. Their just making a bad name for true results.

Oh k so I had my doctors appointment today. Lost three pounds. The head nurse was pleased with my incision said it looked good. So she gave me my first fill. It fell really weird and hurt alil but I handled it. So far I'm doing pretty good. And of course started my liquid diet. I have a 10cc band. My surgeon put 3cc in it and true results just put in another 1cc.

That's great! Congrats! They put a lot of Fluid in your band during surgery. I had 1.5cc and they added another 1cc on my first fill so I have only 2.5cc. It's hard to go back to liquids but at least it's only for a couple days! I'm so happy for you! :D

I'm feeling fine. Yea I'm getting fuller alittle faster but not quite staying full. Getting hungry again around the 3 or 4 hour. So I guess I can say I have not reached my green zone. Good luck with ur fill.

I live in Jersey Village, TX and I have really been considering lap band surgery. I am 26 and 265lbs, I've tried everything diets and exercising but only lose about 10 pounds and gain it right back. I have been researching the lap band and it seems like a very scary fix for my problem. I am trying to find someone who maybe has been in a similar situation that could be a mentor or answer questions I have regarding pre op and post op and the procedure itself.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
