ABLOND 92 Posted June 4, 2015 Is/Did your insurance pay for both surgeries? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lillyD 7 Posted June 8, 2015 For revision I'm awaiting for insurance to give me a date but No I pd cash for the lapband 4 years ago. I went through TRUE RESULTS I do not recommend it better to find a bariatric dr near u. They will sit and take care of u very close than an agency pushin wt loss surgeries. They have no idea what they are talkin about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RickyT 1 Posted June 8, 2015 What is wrong with true results? I went through them for my lapband. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lillyD 7 Posted June 15, 2015 I apologize RICKYT? 4years ago True Results the staff was what was wrong. The nurses who have me fill an unfill were always pokin at me blind tryin to act like they knew my situation. I was always too restricted or toooo loose.. After the first year I couldn't afford all the fills and Unfills and trips back n forth. Honestly the band just wasn't for me. I do know one lady on my FB group whom had a tremendous amount of wt loss w the lapband but out of 64 of us about 5 ppl already had a revision or in the process. I have no self control when it comes to food unless I'm on some form of pill or shot helping my cravings go away. I BELEIVE the sleeve will be better for me. I'm type 2 diabetic so I get all Godzilla when I'm hungry or start getting irritable plus my hormones... Stick to the instructions and wt your food a week in advance no bs. Either you "fail to plan or you plan to fail" Be ahead start measuring and freeze, strength train 7days just so u get in the mental habit. Make this work for you. BEAST MODE BRO ur not like me u can do this regardless who u went through for the lap band. Got any pics ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lillyD 7 Posted June 15, 2015 True results never had someone to show you how to maintain they just have me papers w instructions. Then again if you pay cash you don't have to go through all the hurdles but I need the hurdles to keep me on point and I need someone to tell me somethin straight up and I need talk groups and excercise groups shoooot I'm fighting for my life back and I want alll the time back to.
