For revision I'm awaiting for insurance to give me a date but No I pd cash for the lapband 4 years ago.

I went through TRUE RESULTS I do not recommend it better to find a bariatric dr near u. They will sit and take care of u very close than an agency pushin wt loss surgeries. They have no idea what they are talkin about.

I apologize RICKYT?

4years ago True Results the staff was what was wrong. The nurses who have me fill an unfill were always pokin at me blind tryin to act like they knew my situation. I was always too restricted or toooo loose.. After the first year I couldn't afford all the fills and Unfills and trips back n forth. Honestly the band just wasn't for me.

I do know one lady on my FB group whom had a tremendous amount of wt loss w the lapband but out of 64 of us about 5 ppl already had a revision or in the process. I have no self control when it comes to food unless I'm on some form of pill or shot helping my cravings go away. I BELEIVE the sleeve will be better for me. I'm type 2 diabetic so I get all Godzilla when I'm hungry or start getting irritable plus my hormones...

Stick to the instructions and wt your food a week in advance no bs.

Either you

"fail to plan or you plan to fail"

Be ahead start measuring and freeze, strength train 7days just so u get in the mental habit. Make this work for you. BEAST MODE BRO ur not like me u can do this regardless who u went through for the lap band. Got any pics ?

True results never had someone to show you how to maintain they just have me papers w instructions. Then again if you pay cash you don't have to go through all the hurdles but I need the hurdles to keep me on point and I need someone to tell me somethin straight up and I need talk groups and excercise groups shoooot I'm fighting for my life back and I want alll the time back to.

      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.
