True results austin??



Recommended Posts

I have just scheduled my consult and starting the whole lap band process. I was just wondering if anyone has used true results in Austin tx and what your thoughts are? It's looking like I have financing in place and I'm getting excited. I have 70 lbs to lose, any advice is welcome:)

That's awesome! Great job. I have tried every diet known to man and can't get the results or stick to it. After 3 kids I'm just tired of being unhealthy and overweight. Do you have scarring from incision sight?

I also use True Results Austin. Nothing but praises for them. They are the best.

They have a support group that meets once a month on Thursday nights. The next one is this Thursday at 6:30pm. I would recommend coming.

Hope to see you on Thursday.

I feel comfortable with them. I would love to try a support group but I have little ones and live an hour from Austin:(

Another question, how long did it take from consult to surgery? I already have the financing figured out.

I was self pay and my surgery was 3 weeks after consult. It depends on the schedule but Paul will get you scheduled as soon as you are ready.

Good luck, you are in good hands!

Hi kjakaty, I'm really excited for you :) since you aren't going the insurance route, it should be fairly quick from consults to surgery. Since you can't make the group meetings in your area there are some fantastic groups on Facebook ... I'm a member of 'Lapband support' on FB and these are just ordinary people who are pre and post op who share their stories with each other. The support is amazing and there is always someone who can relate to where your are in your journey. It's a very active group :) and there is a wealth of knowledge among the 600+ members :)

The best of luck to you :-)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
