True Results Gave Me 1 Cc!



Recommended Posts

I have to share my excitment! I was banded in July at True Results in Houston. I've had 4 fills now. The first 3 fills I was only given .5 cc. I was under the impression that that's all they would do at True Results, so imagine my surpise yesterday... The nurse asked me how my hunger level was in between meals... I told her a 6 (out of 10).. so she gave me a 1 full cc! I'm now at 7.2 cc. Feeling the restriction now .. hoping it stays like this!! Much love and happiness to all :)

I go to true results in Houston too and they give 1cc every time, Al though ive only been 2xs. she said I was behind on fills with only 2ccs in 10cc band. I was scared to be too tight where I can't swallow my own spit but now I think i'm ready to be too tight. My stomach always growls and I feel like i'm hungrier than before my first fill. best of luck to you! I can't wait to feel restriction.

I have the XL band (14cc), and have had 2 fills... each for 2cc. I am not having any restictions whatsoever, can eat anything. Trying my hardest to stay in control! LOL

Hey lollicatt,

Thanks for letting me know. When Dr. hollis did my surgery he put 4.2 cc's in, did you have any Fluid put in during your surgery? I've been dreaming of having restrction so I hope it stays!

I read one of your other post that said you do a Protein Drink for Breakfast and lunch. You might fell some restriction in the am if you try food, normally the band is tighter in the am. Just a thought.

i too went through True Results, in Richardson Texas. I have a 14cc band i now have 9.25 cc's. Originally my doctor told me that i would have to be right at 10cc to get the most out of this.. it's been okay, but I too can almost eat what ever i want, except for bread and chicken(white meat) i've heard once before that if i would try and eat a sold breakfast i would be better, however i can only drink Protein Shakes in the am. starting March 1st, i'm going to start drinking coffee, because i hear that will loosened the band, then try and eat a sold breakfast. i will let yall know how that goes

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
