True Results Lap Band literally saved my life.

True Results Lap Band saved Billie’s life.

“We’re losing her.” That’s what I heard a nurse say when I was in the emergency room, and I thought, “I’m not ready to go.” That’s when I finally decided that I was going to have the Lap Band procedure. I’d met the surgeon at a trade show about a year and a half before my procedure. He told me about True Results, gave me his card and told me he could help me.

When I was ready, I gave that doctor a call. I went to the center for the procedure, and the last thing I remember him saying is “She’ll do good” — and I knew right then that I was going to succeed. My doctor’s attitude was so motivating, and it’s the same with the whole True Results team. They care about me as a person, not just a patient, and they are always ready to answer any questions I have. I’ve had their support every step of the way.

So much has changed for me since my Lap Band procedure — much more than losing 175 pounds. My health, which was rapidly declining, has improved. I was taking 13…THIRTEEN…medications a day and paying $200 in copays. Now they’re gone. All of them. My energy has increased dramatically, and so has my confidence. I used to avoid being seen in public, which was tough, since my job involves traveling to conferences and trade shows. Now I can’t wait to go out — to be with people. The True Results Lap Band didn’t just save my life, it gave me a life!
