Any fellow True Results-Houston bandsters here?
-
I was also banded at TR Houston in March 2010. I have NOT been back to them since 2011 because of the same foolishness that you experienced! They also kept telling me that I had a dilated pouch as well and would not give me a fill. I have not had a fill since 2011. Although I have lost all weight that I had planned to(on my own not depending on the fill) i am noticing that I am beginning to gain some back. I wish my insurance was covering the sleeve when I was going through the process because I would have went with the sleeve and not the band!!

7lbs lost in one week!! Not bad!! and I havent had a fill in 9 months....1 more lb till im at 160!!!

Has anyone used this surgeon? I've heard he's the best in Houston. Just wondering if anyone has had any experiences with him. -

What side of town r u on? -
Im soo happy now that ive found a new surgeon who accepts patients not banded by him. And he accepts my insurance so I wouldnt have to pay an arm and leg out of pocket!!

I swear we are "twins"....lol.... I am also 5'2' and EXTREMELY lazy when it comes to exercise!! I just recently joined the YMCA (like last week) jus so I could try to reach my goal. Im really confused on the calorie intake thing. I havent figured out what wrks for me (after 1yr being banded) jus yet.

Yes the cost of the fills are rather expensive. My insurance is getting hit about $600 just for using their machine whether they fill me or not!!

July 4 Challenge 2011

Anyone have any pointers for us "high pound seekers" (i.e. 15lbs or more) that would help us get the scale moving? I seem to get stuck at the same weight for a month or so and im hoping by doing this challenge it would help me see what im doing wrong. -

Need A Good Lap Band Fill Dr In Houston Tx Area
SwissMiss replied to cisco29's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hello all!! Still havent found a Dr. in the immediate area who does fills for outside patients but I did FINALLY sucked it up and made the long drive to Bryan on yesterday to see Dr. Stephanie Eijsink and am very glad that I did!! She was amazing and well worth the drive and money!!! She was very informative, very patient and found my port on the 1st stick compared to having being poked over and over in the past for my fills! I would definately visit her again and would highly recommend her! -

how do you know when you're full?
SwissMiss replied to daisyysiad's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
This is soo weird!! For me I start to hiccup!! I never noticed that it was my sign of full until I read another thread on here as a sign to watch out for. So ever since then is when I noticed the hiccuping. -
U were 239 in that pic and u had a neck?? u must be tall!! When I was 239 i looked like miss piggy in the face with NO neck!!...lol.. So far my journey is going sooo slooow!! I am now yo-yoing b/w 201-197lbs. I cant seem to break past this point but im thankful to have reached this far. It took me abt 3months to get here in ONEderland from yo-yoing back and forth from 200-205.
