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 :-)

      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.
