    Hi thanks for the reply. Who did you get your blood tests through?
  10. Hi just wondering if there was anyone that has been banded by True Results in Richardson Texas. If so I had a few questions! Thanks Amanda
  11. Hi Thanks for the info, was wondering about the bloodwork you had at Quest, do you remeber the cost and what kind of lab work was it, this is not covered in the $9,900 i dont believe.
  12. Hi, yes my dr. is dr. marsden also and my patient advocate is Amanda also! Thanks so much for all you info! It really does help alot! So Dr. Marsden is an ass? I just need him to do his job and shut up lol. I dont have a regular physician here at home do you think this will be a problem I know in the paperwork they ask about it. Is there anything special i need to bring? Do they do the surgery at the True Results facility? Thanks Amanda
  13. Hey! Thanks for the reply. I have my consultation on March 30th and my surgery on April 1st. I am paying cash so I didnt have to go through all that extra stuff. I havent even seen a doctor yet. I live in Downsville, Louisiana so I am about 5 hours away from the richardson facility. I am on the 2 week pre op diet. I am having my ekg and blood work on March 30th. And getting the results March 31st and lap band on April 1st. They had said something about putting me up in a hotel for one night after surgery?? Did you do that? What tests did you have? Where they friendly?? Thanks!

  15. Ive lost almost 10 pds!! yeah hawww

  16. I know! I am so happy it does. Well today is day 4 and the earlier i go to bed the sooner the next day starts!! I have also started eating ice chips! It really does help.

  17. I am on day 4 of the liquid diet. I can say it gets better everyday. The Protein shakes(Im using EAS soy protein) can be alittle hard to get down at times. I have lost almost 10 pds. My surgery is set for April 1st in Dallas/Richardson Texas. I cant wait. I know this diet can be hard but it only helps b/c after you have your new pouch you will not be able to eat like you did before anyways!! Good luck! Amanda
