I had surgery 12/12/12 and am down 37 lbs. I would like for it to be more but the doctor is fine with my progress. I have 8 cc's in my 14 cc band and feel that I'm really close to the green zone. I'm hoping to be there when I get my fill next Tuesday. I also just recently started exercising consistently so hopefully I will start losing a little faster.

I will be seeing Dr. Hollis for my follow up care. I am just going to have my surgery done at another facility. I hear he is a great doctor. Has your experience been good with him? I was at the office on Wednesday for my Psych exam. I have to schedule my EDG which I am going to do that at another doctor because if I do it at true results the out of pocket will be like 1700. I saw your pictures and your looking good. I know you are very happy with your results. I can not wait until i get started on my post op journey. How has it been adjusting to everything? I have been trying to train myself now to take smaller bites and chew my food good. I actually have lost 4 pu=ounds on my own within the last couple of weeks

I adore Dr. Hollis and his entire staff at the True Results location. I also had an appointment at his southeast office at Hermann for my followup. I had some complications after the initial surgery and he operated on me again that day, before I was able to make it through recovery for the band surgery. He admitted me to SE Hermann for a couple of days. He is very compassionate and made a good impression on my husband as far as the way my emergency was handled. His nurses called me and checked on me while I was in Hermann and one of his surgical staff at Hermann, who was not part of my surgery team, came to see me also. They had all heard about my case, even though my surgery had been at True Results. Most of all, his anesthesiologist never left my side once they realized something was wrong. My complications had nothing to do with the actual band, something clipped scar tissue at closing and I was bleeding internally. I've never had better care anywhere. You will love him. I've not seen him since surgery and that is a shame. The staff at True Results is outstanding!

      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.
