I had Dr. Escival. At south Austin hospital. I'm with true results also. I got banded August 7th.

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.

Banded on 11/15/2012 in SAT. One fill and not losing too much. Ive lost almost 40lbs total. That is including preop when i lost 20lbs. So pretty much lost 20 post. Im going back for 2nd fill on the 16th of this month. Slow and steady but thank God im not gaining. Made it through the holidays and didn't gain not one pound so that was an actual miracle! Lol good luck fellow banders!!

      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.
