I'm from Rockwall. I went through True Results Dr. Marsden. I'm 8 months post op and very pleased with True Results. The aftercare is what YOU make it, but the NPs are very knowledgeable. Are you pre or post op?

Awesome!!! I'm post op..I had surgery on 11/21/13 and just had my 3rd fill on Wednesday. I've lost a total of 24lbs including my pre-op diet. I started out at 310lbs so I think I've done a good job!!! If you don't mind me asking what was your starting weight and how much have you lost? Also was your band filled at time of surgery?

That's awesome weight loss! I started at 250 and I'm down to 193ish. It's slow for me, but I haven't "dieted" so I'm happy with my progress so far. My band had 3.5 after surgery. I've been conservative with my fills. I'm at 6.4 (I think) in a 10 cc band about 9 months post op. I definitely feel it. Pretty sure I'm in the green zone, but my choices of food I think make me not lose like I should. I can def go 4 hours before feeling hungry, but I find myself snacking when I'm not hungry. I made a friend through this website and we sometimes get our fills together and then hang out at a local pub afterwards. Would you like to join us sometime? Our next appt is Wed Feb 5 in the afternoon. Let me know if you'd like to join us afterward and I'll let you know where we will be. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
