She has lost 110 lbs.
Amanda never thought she’d be training for a marathon.
Sweating was something I simply didn’t do before I had the True Results Lap Band procedure. So the fact that I’m training for a half-marathon is a big thing. That’s a big change for me, but it’s all the little things that I really notice the most — little things that have made a big difference in my life. Things like being able to bend over and tie my shoes or paint my toenails. Wearing COLOR instead of just black all the time. Not hiding behind my kids in photos. They sound silly when I say them out loud, but these are the things that really mean a lot to me.
Growing up, I was one of six girls. Two are models, and all were skinny — except for me. I never understood why. Was I just, genetically, the ugly duckling of the family, or was I lazy and undisciplined? After I was banded, when the weight first started coming off, my family was so proud. I got a lot of “atta girls”. Now, it’s like I was never overweight. I’m just one of the girls.
I can’t say enough about what True Results has done for me, and how incredible they are. I mean, I’ve had to do my part of the work to get the weight off — the band is just a tool that helps — but I don’t think I could have been as successful as I have without True Results. They truly are THE best around. You can get the Lap Band procedure anywhere, but True Results is the only one with Dr O’Brien…the pioneer…the granddaddy of the Lap Band. No one else has his level of expertise or the aftercare program that he created. The team here is wonderfully supportive — always ready with a high-five, encouragement or answers to your questions. Most of the team has been banded, so their advice and experience comes first hand. They’ve been where you are right now. They get it. They genuinely understand exactly what you’re going through. True Results has people to help you with meal plans and exercise programs. You can even get a chart that has a break down of, like, 20 different protein bars — by calories, carbs, sugars, taste, you name it. You can get it because they cared enough to personally test them all for you. It’s things like that that show how dedicated every single person at True Results is to your weight-loss success. You don’t find that just anywhere.

Being active when you’re trying to lose weight doesn’t have to mean running a marathon, pumping iron or taking aerobics every day. But to get started, put on your fuzzy slippers.
