Now I can play soccer with my kids, and I love it.

Deena A.
She has lost 110 lbs.

Deena loves playing soccer with her kids.

I went to a True Results seminar to give moral support to a friend. I came home with an appointment. That’s how my relationship with True Results started. I never really thought I was missing out on anything by being overweight. The things I didn’t do…I believed were things I didn’t want to do. I thought I had plenty of energy…but that I was just slow and disorganized. I let my husband take the kids on amusement park rides…telling myself that I really didn’t want to go on the rides anyway. And I always had excuses for not playing soccer with my daughter. Boy, has that all changed!

After going to the seminar, I had pretty much decided that I was going to have the True Results Lap Band procedure. After I met with the doctor, and was confident that he really knew what he was doing, I was sure of it. My True Results experience has been great in every way. The team has really been an ally for me on this journey. They helped the process go so smoothly, and they’re always there with help and encouragement. It’s like they want to see me reach my goal almost as much as I do.

I’m down 110 pounds now, and that energy I thought I had? It’s increased dramatically! And soccer? I’m not making excuses any more — I’m out there. And I’ve realized how important it is for me to help my daughter be active and have a healthy lifestyle. It doesn’t matter if she continues with soccer, or if she decides to do cheerleading or drill team — it just matters that she’s active and that I’m a part of it.
