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. :)

      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. 🤞
