I am getting my procedure done in 3 weeks on September 28th with True Results. I am a 28 year old female. I am looking for a Mentor or Buddy, or both to help be support and a friend through this time. I started my pre-op diet today.

Looking forward to chatting. :)

Hi, I'll be getting my band through True Results in S.A. too! I won't be able to get it until Jan '13. I believe Dr. Benevides will be my dr. How much longer until your surgery?

Hello there! I got my band through True Results Scottsdale, AZ on 6/26/12. Let me tell u they are wonderful! I researched this procedure for years prior and was actually going to do it thru another doctor/ facility (terrry Simpson) a couple years prior but they were no help with anything!! The insurance part I had to do all the work and the staff was just RUDE! Then I found true results what a difference Wow! Got my surgery covered in 6 months, they did all the work. The staff is Amazing! I hope u experience the same! Best of luck

Got banded yesterday and I am doing well. In pain but getting through it. Trying to figure out if I am hungry or if it is just a habbit thing. Figured it might take me a few days to get that straight. lol Overall though a good Surgery. :-)

That's good! How are you feeling? Are you able to eat anything yet? Do you feel any restriction?

      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.
