I'm from Rockwall. I went through True Results Dr. Marsden. I'm 8 months post op and very pleased with True Results. The aftercare is what YOU make it, but the NPs are very knowledgeable. Are you pre or post op?

Awesome!!! I'm post op..I had surgery on 11/21/13 and just had my 3rd fill on Wednesday. I've lost a total of 24lbs including my pre-op diet. I started out at 310lbs so I think I've done a good job!!! If you don't mind me asking what was your starting weight and how much have you lost? Also was your band filled at time of surgery?

That's awesome weight loss! I started at 250 and I'm down to 193ish. It's slow for me, but I haven't "dieted" so I'm happy with my progress so far. My band had 3.5 after surgery. I've been conservative with my fills. I'm at 6.4 (I think) in a 10 cc band about 9 months post op. I definitely feel it. Pretty sure I'm in the green zone, but my choices of food I think make me not lose like I should. I can def go 4 hours before feeling hungry, but I find myself snacking when I'm not hungry. I made a friend through this website and we sometimes get our fills together and then hang out at a local pub afterwards. Would you like to join us sometime? Our next appt is Wed Feb 5 in the afternoon. Let me know if you'd like to join us afterward and I'll let you know where we will be. :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
