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!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
