I did true results in Austin August 2011. I am down 90 pounds. I know true results has a support group that meets once a month. I have had a great experience with True Results. Good luck on your surgery -
Congrats you are doing great. It took 50 pounds for me until people said anything and it does feel good when people notice

So my doctor would not fill me any more thinking I was in the green zone a few months ago. I could eat anything as long as chewed well no breads but everything else. So I live in Texas and last week the weather has become colder. Now my band is tight new food are giving me problems but I eat slower and chew more I am fine. This seems crazy does anyone else have this issues? I just don't think I can get so tight from cold weather maybe I am missing a sign from the band.

Hello Carrie! true results did my surgery aug 2011 I live south of Austin. I am very happy with my results after a year down 91 pounds. I too had no weight related issues but i know it was coming the longer i kept the weight on. I was self pay too. You will do great the hardest time is the time after surgery and before you start getting fills. Let me know if you want a band buddy.

i have had my band for over a year and do 1300 calories a day now. I work out almost everyday number seems to work for me now. As i lose weight i reduce my calories. i use my fitness pal to track everything. i think anything under 1000 you are going to struggle if you are working out. 800 seems really low to me

dr esquivel is who i had. the bad thing with true results is you never see the doctor after surgery the staff is awesome and super helpful. i am very happy where i am now but it is work i track everything i eat and work out 4 days a week.

Anyone Know Why They Turn To Comfort Food?
olivepickles replied to kittylove32's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
As i have lost weight i am realizing my relationship with my spouse is not working. I guess when you focus on yourself for once you really start understanding what you need and want. i want someone to be romantic with i understand what you are going thru. We are currently working on our relationship. I too turn to comfort food when i at home and not wanting to deal with my husband or when i am feeling lonely.
